R: Check if move is acceptable.

AcceptableMove {EDISON}

R Documentation

Check if move is acceptable.

Description

This function takes as input a new network proposal and checks that the proposal does not exceed the maximum number of parents for a node, and that there are no self loops (if self loops have been disallowed).

Usage

AcceptableMove(proposal, qmax, self.loops, target, fixed.edges)

Arguments

`proposal`	The proposed network (K-by-q matrix with K segments and q parent sets).
`qmax`	Maximum number of parents allowed.
`self.loops`	Flag indicating whether self loops are allowed.
`target`	The current target node (only needed to find out which parent would be the self loop).
`fixed.edges`	Which edges in the network should be fixed for all segments (q-by-q matrix with entries 0 for fixed non-edge, 1 for fixed edge, -1 for non-fixed edge).

Value

Returns TRUE if the proposed move is acceptable, FALSE otherwise.
