Is a degree sequence graphical?

Description

Determine whether the given vertex degrees (in- and out-degrees for directed graphs) can be reliazed in a simple graph, i.e. a graph without multiple or loop edges.

Usage

is_graphical(out.deg, in.deg = NULL)

Arguments

`out.deg`	Integer vector, the degree sequence for undirected graphs, or the out-degree sequence for directed graphs.
`in.deg`	`NULL` or an integer vector. For undireted graphs, it should be `NULL`. For directed graphs it specifies the in-degrees.

Value

A logical scalar.
