Prior adjancency matrices

[fccoelho]

Why are prior adjacency matrices, created with the make_prior_knowledge function, have -1 for the edges instead of 1? what is the rationale for this?

[ikeuchi-screen]

In make_prior_knowledge, the edge that no prior knowledge is given is -1.

Prior knowledge is defined as the following [ref]:

• 0 if xi does not have a directed path to xj
• 1 if xi has a directed path to xj
• −1 if no prior knowledge is available to know if either of the two cases above (0 or 1) is true.

The above explanation is missing in the API reference and tutorials, so it will be added in the next version.

I was guessing that was what it meant. Thanks for the clarification. BTW, thanks for putting this package together!
