Title: Structure Estimation in Gaussian DAGs : a basic overview

Abstract: Here we discuss briefly what are Gaussian graphical models, why are they studied so much. We also go through some very basic methods/algorithms to estimate the structure of a directed acyclic graph in this particular scenario. We try to see the connections existing between methods that are used for undirected graphs and how they can be adapted/modified to estimate directed graphs.
