generationFunctions {BoolNet} | R Documentation |
Generation functions for biologically relevant function classes
Description
These generation functions randomly generate canalyzing or nested canalyzing Boolean functions. These functions are usually not called directly, but are supplied to the functionGeneration
parameter of generateRandomNKNetwork
.
Usage
generateCanalyzing(input)
generateNestedCanalyzing(input)
Arguments
input |
A vector of input gene indices for the Boolean function |
Value
A binary vector corresponding to the result column of the truth table that represents the canalyzing/nested canalyzing function.
