mean_var {bnmonitor} | R Documentation |
Standard variation of the mean vector
Description
Computation of an updated GBN
object after a variation of the mean vector.
Usage
mean_var(gbn, entry, delta)
Arguments
gbn |
object of class |
entry |
an index specifying the entry of the mean vector to vary. |
delta |
additive variation coefficient for the entry of the mean vector given in |
Details
Let the original Bayesian network have a Normal distribution and let
entry
be equal to . Let
be the i-th entry of
. For a variation of the mean by an amount
the resulting distribution is
, where
is equal to
except for the i-th entry which is equal to
.
Value
An object of class GBN
with an updated mean vector.
