Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
double	divergence(BayesNet other) calculates the divergence between the probability distribution represented by this network and that of another, that is, \sum_{x\in X} P(x)log P(x)/Q(x) where X is the set of values the nodes in the network can take, P(x) the probability of this network for configuration x Q(x) the probability of the other network for configuration x
int	extraArcs(BayesNet other) Count nr of exta arcs from other network compared to current network Note that an arc is not 'extra' if it is reversed.

java.lang.String	getFileName() returns the current filename
int	getNode(java.lang.String sNodeName) getNode finds the index of the node with name sNodeName and throws an exception if no such node can be found.
java.lang.String	getRevision() Returns the revision string.
TechnicalInformation	getTechnicalInformation() Returns an instance of a TechnicalInformation object, containing detailed information about the technical background of this class, e.g., paper reference or book this class is based on.
java.lang.String	globalInfo() This will return a string describing the classifier.
static void	main(java.lang.String[] args) Loads the file specified as first parameter and prints it to stdout.
int	missingArcs(BayesNet other) Count nr of arcs missing from other network compared to current network Note that an arc is not 'missing' if it is reversed.
BIFReader	processFile(java.lang.String sFile) processFile reads a BIFXML file and initializes a Bayes Net
BIFReader	processString(java.lang.String sStr)
int	reversedArcs(BayesNet other) Count nr of reversed arcs from other network compared to current network
void	Sync(BayesNet other) synchronizes the node ordering of this Bayes network with those in the other network (if possible).
