dwi {bnmonitor}

Distance-weigthed influence

Description

Computation of the distance-weigthed influence in a Bayesian network

Usage

dwi(bn, node, w)

Arguments

bn

object of class bn.fit or bn.

node

a node of bnfit.

w

a number in (0,1].

Details

The distance-weigthed influence of a node X_j on an output node X_i in a Bayesian network is

DWI(X_j,X_i,w)= \sum_{s\in S_{ji}}w^{|s|},

where S_{ji} is the set of active trails between X_j and X_i, w\in(0,1] is an input parameter, and |s| is the length of the trail s.

Value

A dataframe with the following columns: Nodes - the vertices of the BN; Influence - the distance-weigthed influence of the corresponding node.
