Overview

About

Maintained by Han YuCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

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. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

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