Bayesian networks with likelihood evidence in R
Søren Højsgaard · VBN Forskningsportal (Aalborg Universitet) · 2018
The gRain package for R (www.r-project.org) has been around for a decade and the package provides tools for building Bayesian networks as well as for probability propagation in such networks. In gRain, attention is restricted to networks with discrete nodes. A recent addition to the package is the ability to incorporate likelihood evidence (also called soft evidence or virtual evidence) in the network. This facility is useful in itself, and the facility also allows for handling networks where not all nodes are discrete. References [1] Højsgaard, S. (2012).
