Coerce into a Signed Object

Description

A generic function for coercing a matrix into a “Signed” class object.

Usage

as.signed(x, lbs)

Arguments

x	A matrix representing the signed network.
lbs	(optional) Labels for the signed matrix.

Details

Use this function to convert an array representing a signed network into an R object of class “Signed”, as required by function semiring.

The array in x itself can be also a “Semiring” class object represented as ‘Rel.Q’ attribute for the semiring relational structure.

Value
