BG {expperm}

The Brualdi-Gibson method for computing an expected permutation matrix

Description

Computes the expected permutation matrix and marginal likelihood from a tridiagonal matrix of assignment likelihoods using the Brualdi-Gibson method.

Usage

BG(A, return.permanent = FALSE)

Arguments

A

A tridiagonal matrix of assignment likelihoods.

return.permanent

A logical value indicating whether the function should also return the permanent of A, which is then added to the output as an attribute.

Value

E(P), the expected permutation matrix corresponding to A.

Examples

data(triA)
BG(triA)
