# huge.mb(): Meinshausen & Buhlmann graph estimation (mb)               #
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------#

#' Meinshausen & Buhlmann graph estimation
#'
#' See more details in \code{\link{huge}}
#' @param x There are 2 options: (1) \code{x} is an \code{n} by \code{d} data matrix (2) a \code{d} by \code{d} sample covariance matrix. The program automatically identifies the input matrix by checking the symmetry. (\code{n} is the sample size and \code{d} is the dimension).
#' @param lambda A numeric scalar or non-empty one-dimensional numeric input
#'   defining a finite, strictly positive, non-increasing regularization path;
#'   tied values are allowed. Leave \code{lambda = NULL}
#'   to generate a path from \code{nlambda} and \code{lambda.min.ratio}.
#' @param nlambda The number of regularization/thresholding parameters. The default value is \code{20} for \code{method = "ct"} and \code{10} for \code{method = "mb"}, \code{"glasso"} or \code{"tiger"}.
#' @param lambda.min.ratio If \code{method = "mb"}, \code{"glasso"} or \code{"tiger"}, it is the smallest value for \code{lambda}, as a fraction of the upperbound (\code{MAX}) of the regularization/thresholding parameter which makes all estimates equal to \code{0}. The program can automatically generate \code{lambda} as a sequence of length = \code{nlambda} starting from \code{MAX} to \code{lambda.min.ratio*MAX} in log scale. If \code{method = "ct"}, it is the largest sparsity level for estimated graphs. The program can automatically generate \code{lambda} as a sequence of length = \code{nlambda}, which makes the sparsity level of the graph path increases from \code{0} to \code{lambda.min.ratio} evenly.The default value is \code{0.1} when \code{method = "mb"}, \code{"glasso"} or \code{"tiger"}, and 0.05 when \code{method = "ct"}.
#' @param scr If \code{scr = TRUE}, the lossy screening rule is applied to preselect the neighborhood before the graph estimation. The default value is  \code{FALSE}.
#' @param scr.num The neighborhood size after the lossy screening rule (the number of remaining neighbors per node). It must be an integer between \code{1} and \code{d - 1}. ONLY applicable when \code{scr = TRUE}. The default value is \code{n-1}. An alternative value is \code{n/log(n)}. ONLY applicable when \code{scr = TRUE} and \code{method = "mb"}.
#' @param idx.mat A \code{scr.num} by \code{d} index matrix for screening. Column \code{m} must contain distinct, zero-based indices in \code{0:(d - 1)} and must exclude the response index \code{m - 1}.
#' @param sym Symmetrize the output graphs. If \code{sym = "and"}, the edge between node \code{i} and node \code{j} is selected ONLY when both node \code{i} and node \code{j} are selected as neighbors for each other. If \code{sym = "or"}, the edge is selected when either node \code{i} or node \code{j} is selected as the neighbor for each other. The default value is \code{"or"}. ONLY applicable when \code{method = "mb"} or \code{"tiger"}.
#' @param verbose If \code{verbose = FALSE}, tracing information printing is disabled. The default value is \code{TRUE}.
#' @param input.type How to interpret \code{x}: \code{"auto"} preserves
#'   symmetry-based detection, \code{"data"} forces an observation matrix,
#'   and \code{"covariance"} requires a square covariance or correlation
#'   matrix.
#' @seealso \code{\link{huge}}, and \code{\link{huge-package}}.
#' @export
