## Not run: 
## Clean environment
closeAllConnections()
rm(list=ls())
# Set enviroment
# setwd("to your working directory")
# Load packages
library(bnpa)
# Use working data sets from package
data(dataQualiN)
# Start the cluster
cl <- bnpa::create.cluster()
# Set the number of replications
R=1000
# Set the algorithm to be used
algorithm="hc"
# Executes a parallel bootstrap process
data.bn.boot.strap=boot.strength(data=dataQualiN,R,algorithm,cluster=cl,
                                algorithm.args=list(score="bic"),cpdag = FALSE)
# Release the cluster
