Preface
Graphical models in their modern form have been around since the late 1970s and appear today in many areas of the sciences. Along with the ongoing developments of graphical models, a number of different graphical modelling software programs have been written over the years. In recent years many of these software developments have taken place within the R community, either in the form of providing an R interface to existing software or in the form of new R packages. At the time of writing, the taskview for graphical models in R at http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/gR.html
lists some thirty packages related to graphical models. It is expected that this number will grow considerably, and the packages will be extended and modified. This book attempts to give the reader a gentle introduction to graphical modelling using R and the main features of some of these packages, hopefully sharpening the appetite for using and developing these packages further. In addition, we shall give a few examples of how more advanced aspects of graphical modelling can be represented and handled within R. We emphasize that this book is not a manual to the collection of packages mentione
