public class ICSSearchAlgorithm
extends CISearchAlgorithm

This Bayes Network learning algorithm uses conditional independence tests to find a skeleton, finds V-nodes and applies a set of rules to find the directions of the remaining arrows.

Valid options are:

 -cardinality <num>
  When determining whether an edge exists a search is performed 
  for a set Z that separates the nodes. MaxCardinality determines 
  the maximum size of the set Z. This greatly influences the 
  length of the search. (default 2)

 -mbc
  Applies a Markov Blanket correction to the network structure, 
  after a network structure is learned. This ensures that all 
  nodes in the network are part of the Markov blanket of the 
  classifier node.

 -S [BAYES|MDL|ENTROPY|AIC|CROSS_CLASSIC|CROSS_BAYES]
  Score type (BAYES, BDeu, MDL, ENTROPY and AIC)

Constructor Detail

ICSSearchAlgorithm

public ICSSearchAlgorithm()

Method Detail

setMaxCardinality

public void setMaxCardinality(int nMaxCardinality)

sets the cardinality

Parameters:

nMaxCardinality - the max cardinality

getMaxCardinality

public int getMaxCardinality()

returns the max cardinality

Returns:

the max cardinality

listOptions

public Enumeration listOptions()

Returns an enumeration describing the available options.

Specified by:

listOptions in interface OptionHandler

Overrides:

listOptions in class LocalScoreSearchAlgorithm

Returns:

an enumeration of all the available options.

setOptions

public void setOptions(String[] options)
                throws Exception

Parses a given list of options.

Valid options are:

 -cardinality <num>
  When determining whether an edge exists a search is performed 
  for a set Z that separates the nodes. MaxCardinality determines 
  the maximum size of the set Z. This greatly influences the 
  length of the search. (default 2)

 -mbc
  Applies a Markov Blanket correction to the network structure, 
  after a network structure is learned. This ensures that all 
  nodes in the network are part of the Markov blanket of the 
  classifier node.

 -S [BAYES|MDL|ENTROPY|AIC|CROSS_CLASSIC|CROSS_BAYES]
  Score type (BAYES, BDeu, MDL, ENTROPY and AIC)

Specified by:

setOptions in interface OptionHandler

Overrides:

setOptions in class LocalScoreSearchAlgorithm

Parameters:

options - the list of options as an array of strings

Throws:

Exception - if an option is not supported

getOptions

public String[] getOptions()

Gets the current settings of the Classifier.

Specified by:

getOptions in interface OptionHandler

Overrides:

getOptions in class LocalScoreSearchAlgorithm

Returns:

an array of strings suitable for passing to setOptions

maxCardinalityTipText

public String maxCardinalityTipText()

Returns:

a string to describe the MaxCardinality option.

globalInfo

public String globalInfo()

This will return a string describing the search algorithm.

Overrides:

globalInfo in class CISearchAlgorithm

Returns:

The string.

getRevision

public String getRevision()

Returns the revision string.

Specified by:

getRevision in interface RevisionHandler

Overrides:

getRevision in class CISearchAlgorithm

Returns:

the revision

main

public static void main(String[] argv)

for testing the class

Parameters:

argv - the commandline parameters
