Linkage Function: solving tie breaks?

Greetings I was wondering how the linkage.m function solves the tie-breaks in order to provide an unique solution. I was checking the code of the function and couldn't find the tie-break decision part.

Thanks in Advance.

You could add a breakpoint to linkage and run it with a scenario that causes a tie and step through it.

Dear Sean

Thanks for the suggestion.

The linkage function is now mex compiled therefore I wouldn't be able to use that strategy. The old version is still there and I'm still struggling to find how the tie-break is computed there but there is no assurance if they use the same tie break for the compiled one.

Best regards

Doh!

The engine is in mex, I missed that on my quick scan.
