randomHyperGraph(...,TimeLimit=>...) -- limit the running time of randomHyperGraph

Synopsis

Usage:

randomHyperGraph(R,D,TimeLimit=>s)
Inputs:
- s, an integer, time in seconds before randomHyperGraph returns null

Description

The randomHyperGraph method follows a backtracking algorithm to generate edges with no inclusions between them. As it may take a long time to terminate, a time limit is imposed on the method. The TimeLimit option is the amount of time, in seconds, that the method randomHyperGraph will take before terminating. A value of 0 is interpreted as one day. The default value is 5 (seconds).
