Arguments

object

an object of class bn.fit, bn.fit.dnode or bn.fit.gnode.

node

a character string, the label of a node.

data

a data frame containing the variables in the model.

...

additional arguments (currently ignored).

k

a numeric value, the penalty per parameter to be used; the default k = 1 gives the expression used to compute AIC.

debug

a boolean value. If TRUE a lot of debugging output is printed; otherwise the function is completely silent.

Value

• predict returns a numeric vector (for Gaussian networks) or a factor (for discrete networks).

  All the other functions return a list with an element for each node in the network (if object has class bn.fit) or a numeric vector (if object has class bn.fit.dnode or bn.fit.gnode).

Details

coef (and its alias coefficients) extracts model coefficients (which are conditional probabilities in discrete networks and linear regression coefficients in Gaussian networks).

residuals (and its alias resid) extracts model residuals and fitted (and its alias fitted.values) extracts fitted values from fitted Gaussian networks. If the bn.fit object does not include the residuals or the fitted values (for the nodes of interest, in the case of bn.fit.gnode objects), both functions return NULL.

predict returns the predicted values for node for the data specified by data.
