macrophytes: macrophytes Bayesian Network

Description

Mechanical removal of macrophytes in freshwater ecosystems: Implications for ecosystem structure and function.

Arguments

Value

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

Format

A discrete Bayesian network o assess the implications of macrophyte removal on interrelated ecosystem properties across a wide range of environmental conditions. The probabilities were given within the referenced paper (missing probabilities were given a uniform distribution). The vertices are:
