Extract whitelists and blacklists from an object of class bn, or create
  them for use in structure learning.
whitelist(x)

set2blacklist(set)
whitelist() and blacklist() return a matrix of character string
  with two columns, named from and to, if whitelist or a blacklist
  have been used to learn the bn object passed as their argument.
ordering2blacklist(), tiers2blacklist() and
set2blacklist() return a sanitized blacklist (a two-column
  matrix, whose columns are labeled from and to).
an object of class bn.
a vector of character strings, the labels of the nodes.
a vector of character strings or a list, see below.
Marco Scutari
ordering2blacklist() takes a vector of character strings (the labels
  of the nodes), which specifies a complete node ordering. An object of class
  bn or bn.fit; in that case, the node ordering is derived by the
  graph. In both cases, the blacklist returned by ordering2blacklist()
  contains all the possible arcs that violate the specified node ordering.
tiers2blacklist() takes (again) a vector of character strings (the
  labels of the nodes), which specifies a complete node ordering, or a list of
  character vectors, which specifies a partial node ordering. In the latter
  case, all arcs going from a node in a particular element of the list
  (sometimes known as tier) to a node in one of the previous elements
  are blacklisted. Arcs between nodes in the same element are not blacklisted.
set2blacklist() creates a blacklist containing all the arcs between any
  two of the nodes whose labels are passed as the argument set.
tiers2blacklist(list(LETTERS[1:3], LETTERS[4:6]))
set2blacklist(LETTERS[1:3])
ordering2blacklist(LETTERS[1:6])
