Re: [recommenders-dev] Jayes - Likelihood Evidence

Hi Christian,

Only hard evidence is supported. You could simulate soft evidence by changing the probability distribution of your variable, but that would be a lot less efficient because the internal structures would have to be rebuilt. Supporting the use case in an efficient manner would not be too hard to implement though, i think. It just has not appeared as requirement so far. What is your goal?

Regards, Michael

Hello,

I have a question about the evidence concepts supported by the Jayes implementation of a Bayesian network.
Does Jayes offer the possibility to set an arbitrary (but valid) probability distribution (e.g. [0.75,0.25]) as likelihood evidence for a node in the BN or is only the usage of hard evidence ([1.0,0.0]) supported?

Thanks,
 christian
