We use the idea of Chu-Liu/Edmonds Algorithm, see paper [1,2], to implement four functions here.
1. Maximal Directed Maximum Spanning Tree
By DirectedMaximumSpanningTree.m
2. Minimal Directed Maximum Spanning Tree
By DirectedMinimalSpanningTree.m
3. Maximal Directed Maximum Spanning Forest
By MaximalDirectedMSF.m
4. Minimal Directed Maximum Spanning Forest
By MinimalDirectedMSF.m

One could start with "ControlCenter.m", here is one simple example and explanation for how to use the code.
As for advance users, I also improve the code by mex programming , it is able to handle variables over 1000 in dataset, check the fold named as : AdvanceUser
If there is any problem, please let me know, i will help you as soon as possible.

Attention: mex compiler should be ready in your matlab.
