ownerToVec converts a k x k ownership matrix to a length-k vector whose values identify an owner.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'Antitrust'
ownerToMatrix(object, preMerger = TRUE)

## S4 method for signature 'VertBargBertLogit'
ownerToMatrix(object, preMerger = TRUE)

## S4 method for signature 'Antitrust'
ownerToVec(object, preMerger = TRUE)
