Synopsis

Bayes Network learning using various search algorithms and quality measures.
Base class for a Bayes Network classifier. Provides datastructures (network structure, conditional probability distributions, etc.) and facilities common to Bayes Network learning algorithms like K2 and B.

Options

The table below describes the options available for BayesNet.

Option	Description
BIFFile	Set the name of a file in BIF XML format. A Bayes network learned from data can be compared with the Bayes network represented by the BIF file. Statistics calculated are o.a. the number of missing and extra arcs.
debug	If set to true, classifier may output additional info to the console.
estimator	Select Estimator algorithm for finding the conditional probability tables of the Bayes Network.
searchAlgorithm	Select method used for searching network structures.
useADTree	When ADTree (the data structure for increasing speed on counts, not to be confused with the classifier under the same name) is used learning time goes down typically. However, because ADTrees are memory intensive, memory problems may occur. Switching this option off makes the structure learning algorithms slower, and run with less memory. By default, ADTrees are used.
