pyhgf.utils.list_branches

pyhgf.utils.list_branches(node_idxs, edges, branch_list=[])

Return the branch of a network from a given set of root nodes.

This function searches recursively and lists the parents above a given node. If all the children of a given parent are on the exclusion list, this parent is also excluded.

Parameters:

• node_idxs (list) – A list of node indexes. The nodes can be input nodes or any other node in the network.

• edges (tuple) – The nodes structure.

• branch_list (list) – The list of nodes that are already excluded (i.e )

Returns:

The list of node indexes that belong to the branch.

Return type:
