generationFunctions {BoolNet} | R Documentation |
These generation functions randomly generate canalyzing or nested canalyzing Boolean functions. These functions are usually not called directly, but are supplied to the functionGeneration
parameter of generateRandomNKNetwork
.
generateCanalyzing(input) generateNestedCanalyzing(input)
input |
A vector of input gene indices for the Boolean function |
A binary vector corresponding to the result column of the truth table that represents the canalyzing/nested canalyzing function.
