bnRep (version 0.0.3)

aircrash: aircrash Bayesian Network

Description

Application of a Bayesian network to aid the interpretation of blood alcohol (ethanol) concentrations in air crashes.

Arguments

Value

An object of class bn.fit. Refer to the documentation of bnlearn for details.

Format

A discrete Bayesian network to model the relationships between analytical results, circumstantial evidence and the concentration of alcohol at the time of death in cases of air crash. Probabilities were given within the referenced paper. The vertices are:

5HTOL5HIAARatio

(Above 20, Below 20);

BACAtTimeOfDeath

(a101plus, a80-100, a50-80, a40-49, a30-39, a20-29, a10-19, Negative);

EthanolConsumptionWithin8hrsOfDeath

(Yes, No);

MeasuredBAC

(a101plus, a80-100, a50-80, a40-49, a30-39, a20-29, a10-19, Negative);

PMAlcoholFormation

(PMF, No PMF);

UACPositive

(UPositive, UNegative);

VACPositive

(Positive, Negative);

VOCDetected

(Detected, Not Detected);

WitnessEvidenceOfETOHConsumption

(Positive, Negative);
