where and are the names of elements or bases. A
is an integer.
The ARC: command is used to specify or redefine arcs between two
given nodes and on an influence diagram. The arc
type is given by the integer A, which should be an integer constructed
from the bits discussed in Table 11.4. Any pre-existing definition
of an arc between and is overwritten. In particular,
if A=0, meaning no arc between and then the former
arc definition, if any, is deleted.
The ARC: command can be used in combination with the
GRID0: command to generate influence diagrams with a small
number of arcs. The autoarc control can be used to have [B/D]
draw arcs automatically. See §20.9 for details.
