mount.wl.bl.list: Mounts a white or black list

Description

This function receives a simple list with one or more couple of variables and mount a new data frame in "bnlearn" syntax. The final result must return an object similar to the result of bnlearn command "data.frame(from = c('B', 'F'), to = c('F', 'B'))" that is more complex syntax.

Usage

mount.wl.bl.list(black_or_white_list)

Arguments

black_or_white_list

is a list of couple of variables.

Value

A new data frame with the 'from' and 'to' variables
