  • Method Summary

    Modifier and Type
    Method
    Description
    void
    initialiseStructure(PGM<? extends Node> pgm)
    The structure of the PGM is initialised.
    boolean
    isStructureLegal(boolean[][] adjacencyMatrix, NodeIndexer<? extends Node> nodeIndexer)
    Determines if the structure of a PGM is legal.
    boolean
    uniqueStructure()
    Determines if there is only one possible structure.

  • Method Details

    • initialiseStructure

      void initialiseStructure(PGM<? extends Node> pgm)
      The structure of the PGM is initialised. This method is necessary for models such as naive Bayes.
      Parameters:
      pgm - probabilistic graphical model

    • isStructureLegal

      boolean isStructureLegal(boolean[][] adjacencyMatrix, NodeIndexer<? extends Node> nodeIndexer)
      Determines if the structure of a PGM is legal.
      Parameters:
      adjacencyMatrix - adjacency matrix
      nodeIndexer - node indexer that allows access to information about the nodes
      Returns:
      true if the structure is legal, false otherwise

    • uniqueStructure

      boolean uniqueStructure()
      Determines if there is only one possible structure. This is the case of models such as naive Bayes, for which it is not necessary to find a structure.
      Returns:
      true if there is only one possible structure, false otherwise
