PMFG

Build the PMFG graph from a similarity matrix

You are now following this Submission

Calculates the PMFG graph from a matrix of weights W (typically a similarity measure, e.g. correlations)
PMFG = doPMFG(W) returns the palnar maximally filtered graph (PMFG)
PMFG is a sparse matrix with PMFG(i,j)=W(i,j) if the edge i-j is present
and PMFG(i,j)=0 if not
W must be sparse, real, square and symmetric
