graphpcor: Models for Correlation Matrices Based on Graphs

Implement some models for correlation/covariance matrices including two approaches to model correlation matrices from a graphical structure. One use latent parent variables as proposed in Sterrantino et. al. (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2312.06289>. The other uses a graph to specify conditional relations between the variables. The graphical structure makes correlation matrices interpretable and avoids the quadratic increase of parameters as a function of the dimension. In the first approach a natural sequence of simpler models along with a complexity penalization is used. The second penalizes deviations from a base model. These can be used as prior for model parameters, considering C code through the 'cgeneric' interface for the 'INLA' package (<https://www.r-inla.org>). This allows one to use these models as building blocks combined and to other latent Gaussian models in order to build complex data models.
