You have it right, I believe.

As far as jSMILE goes, it is open source and you can easily add a wrapper around the SMILE function that you want exposes to Java.

Hi Timo, I'm having a hard time understanding your questions but let me try. Please let me know in case I have misunderstood you. I'm not sure what you mean by setting nodes as evidence and simulating scenarios during learning parameters. Have you kept refining the same set of parameters with succes...

I'm afraid the only parameter that you can specify in learning parameters is confidence, which is the equivalent sample size (ESS). This ESS will be for all parameters in the entire network, so it is not possible to specify different ESS for different parameters. I guess you would want at most one E...

Glad to be of service -- Marek

Have you tried right-click/"Save As" :-)? -- Marek

When you fix them, whether they are present or absent in the data file, does not matter, as their CPTs will remain unchanged. If you do not fix them and they are absent from the data file, EM will calculate their CPTs in every iteration based on the values of other variables in the data file. The CP...

Gary, I'm not sure I understand your question if I take it for the face value. Each column in a CPT is in general independent of any other column, so your question does not have a good answer in general. However, your question may be interpreted differently: "Is there any structure in the CPT t...

Timo, You may be reading too much into fixing nodes. What fixing nodes does is excluding them from the learning process. In other words, their CPTs do not get affected by the learning. Try fixing some nodes and not fixing others. If you do this, the nodes that you have fixed will preserve their orig...

Please stay tuned -- it is one of the functionalities on our TO DO list.

Got your data. It has only 38 data records (very few) and 23 variables. What is it exactly that you would like to do with the data? Replicating the results from the paper will be hard, if not impossible, given that you don't know which of the records were used for training and which for testing. Was...

Your first question cannot be answered without data. I looked at the paper but cannot find the source of the data. Do you have the data or know where I can take it from? We can see whether variables are independent in the data or not. log(p) is the overall log likelihood score of the final iteration...

I have examined your model and I believe that the function is working fine. What it does is the following: For every sample generated for the nodes C2 and C3, it picks the higher of the two values as the sample for C23. What you see with the default number of samples (1000) is the distribution of sa...

I'm not sure why you are saying that MAX does not work. I have just created a network as you described and tested it. I have run the standard number of samples and the child node (with the MAX function) seems to generate a correct distribution. I have changed the number of samples to 1 and the resul...

At least one of the columns in your data file contains a constant value, as you say. Constant values are useless in learning. The common sense of this is the following: If a player is present during each of the games, then his/her presence cannot be a predictor whether the team wins. He/she will be ...

I'm not sure what you are doing, so I cannot give you a 100% certain answer. If you have the same data set and the same model and perform Validation multiple times, you can get different results each time if you use Folding seed of 0. In that case, GeNIe will use the system clock to start the random...
