mbnpy 0.1.12

MBNpy is a Python package for Bayesian network applications for large-scale system events (i.e. high-dimensional data).

MBNpy

Overview

MBNpy is a Python toolkit for matrix-based Bayesian network (MBN)--an alternative data structure to conventional BN. MBN is designed to handle problems with a large number of parent nodes, where conventional BN tools often fall short. Example applications include transport networks and pipeline networks.
