Description

Enumerates a list of all paths from variable i to variable j in a community matrix after first validating that CM is a community matrix.

Usage

enumerate.paths(CM,i,j)

Arguments

CM

A community matrix.

i, j

variables in the community matrix CM. Variables may be specified by their names or numbers (i.e. the row/column number corresponding to a specific variable).
