Overview

About

Maintained by Han YuFirst published 2017-05-098 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Belief propagation methods in Bayesian Networks to propagate evidence through the network. The implementation of these methods are based on the article: Cowell, RG (2005). Local Propagation in Conditional Gaussian Bayesian Networks https://www.jmlr.org/papers/v6/cowell05a.html. For details please see Yu et. al. (2020) BayesNetBP: An R Package for Probabilistic Reasoning in Bayesian Networks doi:10.18637/jss.v094.i03. The optional 'cyjShiny' package for running the Shiny app is available at https://github.com/cytoscape/cyjShiny. Please see the example in the documentation of 'runBayesNetApp' function for installing 'cyjShiny' package from GitHub.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)

install.packages("BayesNetBP", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("hyu-ub/BayesNetBP")

Development version from hyu-ub/BayesNetBP. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-bayesnetbp

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make
