Interpretation #30

The code and documentation is fantastic. But how about some interpretation of the outputs in relation to the examples. What can and cannot be said about the coefficients, adjacency matrices etc?

Hi, for example, the code package uses bootstrapping to evaluate the significance of the coefficients b{ij} in the adjacency matrix B = [b{ij}]. The coefficients b_{ij} represent the magnitudes of the direct causal effects from variable x_j to x_i.
