Hi everyone, I'm attempting to use the bnlearn package to calculate conditional probabilities, and I'm running into a problem when the "cpquery" function is used within a loop. I've created an example, shown below, using data included with the package. When using the cpquery function in a loop, a variable created in the loop ("evi" in the example) is not

Hi all I have built a Bayesian network using discrete data using the bnlearn package. When I try to run the cpquery function on this data it returns NaN for some some cases. Running the cpquery in debug mode for such a case (n=10^5, method="lw") creates the following output: generated a grand total of 1e+05 samples. > event has a probability mass of 14982.37 out of

Dear Ross, This usually happen because you have parameters with a value of NaN in your network, because the data you estimate the network from are sparse and you are using maximum likelihood estimates. You should either 1) use simpler networks for which you can estimate all conditional distributions from the data or 2) use posterior estimates for the parameters. Cheers, Marco On 13 July

I'm trying to teach myself about Bayesian Networks and am working with the following data and the bnlearn package. I understand the conceptual aspects of BNs, but I'm not sure how to specify the response variables in R when constructing a dag plot. I've cecked ?hc and done numerous google searches without luck. Can anyone help? library("bnlearn")
