GraphicalModels :: SimpleTreks

SimpleTreks -- optional input to choose the type of parametrization in @TO gaussianParametrization@

Description

Put SimpleTreks => true as an argument in the function gaussianParametrization to compute a parametrization of the covariance matrix S=(s(i,j)) where s(i,j) is the sum of monomials corresponding to simple treks between vertices i and j. Here, a simple trek is a trek (PL,PR) where the paths PL and PR do not have any common vertices except perhaps at their source. See trekSeparation for the definition of a trek.

If the option SimpleTreks => false is used, then the sum is over all treks, and not just simple treks.
