rmallows: Mallows proposal distribution function

In andreamrau/GBNcausal: Causal estimation for Gaussian Bayesian networks

Description

The rmallows function will propose a new order for the elements of the parameter ref.

Usage

rmallows(ref, beta)

Arguments

ref	vector - elements of ref must be of the form "N#" where # is a number.
beta	positive - Mallows temperature. This parameter influences the way the elements of ref are mixed.

Value

The function returns a list of 2 items :

order	order is a vector of integers of the size of ref. It is the order proposed by the rmallowsBlocks function.
new	ref[order] - Vector of ref elements mixed according to the new order.

 ref <- c("N1","N2","N3","N4","N5")
 r <- rmallows(ref, 0.7)
