gRbase: The package `gRbase': summary information

Description

This package provides a basis for graphical modelling in R and in particular for other graphical modelling packages, most notably gRim and gRain. The package is a contribution to the gR-project described by Lauritzen (2002).

Arguments

Details

gRbase provides the following:

Implementation of various graph algorithms, including maximum cardinality search, maximal prime subgraph decomposition, triangulation. See the vignettegraphs.
Implementation of various "high level" array operations, including multiplication/division, marginalization, slicing, permutation. See the vignetteArrayOps.
Implementation of various "low level" array operations. See the vignetteArrayOpsPrim.
A collection of datasets
A general framework for setting up data and model structures and provide examples for fitting hierarchical log linear models for contingency tables and graphical Gaussian models for the multivariate normal distribution. Notice: This last part is not maintained / developed further.
