Regarding your question about discretization. I would like to be able to get beliefs from a continuous node. I'm developing an application where I'm computing joint continuous probabilities and I'm finding its better to display them as a probability distribution functions rather than just providing ...

That makes getting the distribution easier however, when I change alpha and beta I can see the distribution change in GeNie when it's sampled. I am able to read the discretized beliefs directly from the discretized distribution node however the distribution never changes even when I change alpha and...

You mentioned "for continuous nodes, GetNodeValue returns either samples or discretized beliefs, depending on the inference applied by SMILE based on the evidence set in the network". In the attached model I created a discrete node "discrete_beta_distribution" and used that to ge...

Thanks for the upgrade. I've attached an Excel Workbook and a GeNie model that displays a Beta distribution. You can enter an alpha and a beta. Excel will graph the distribution.

Thanks so much for the reply. I had a feeling the Central Limit Theorem was the answer, but I wasn't sure.

(I don't believe this is an issue. I just want to be able to explain the behavior.)

Can you explain why, when I add five uniform distributions, do I get what looks like a Normal distribution?

I have a basic Visual Studio (2017) question. If I create a new project how do I add smilenet.dll as a reference.

I can add it to the solution explorer but the "using Smile;" statement doesn't find it.

Thanks for posting SMILE.COM. I like having the ability to access a network through Excel. I created a sample spreadsheet application that accepts evidence for the Hepar network. Hepar.zip The Visual Basic code is in ThisWorkbook and in the Worksheets called Jon D Doe and Jane P Doe . I tried my bes...

I ran smilecom_setup32.exe. It's asking me for a Serial #.

What do I enter?

Thanks so much. This really helps.

Can you post a sample forms application using SMILE.NET?

I want to create an app that will allow a user to enter evidence into a network through an MS Form. I'm looking for something simple to get me started.

Can you explain what this function is doing?
When is Uniform(0,1)>0.5 and when is Uniform(0,1)<=0.5?

Thanks so much for this. You understood my problem precisely. This is exactly what I was looking for. I didn't realize how the Choose function worked. I didn't realize that it's still choosing something even though the states in the chooser node haven't been selected. Can you send an example of a un...

Thanks so much for version 2.2! I've developed a network with multiple Beta distributions. I have a sigma and a beta chooser (set up as chance nodes). I need to combine two beta distributions. Multiplying them doesn't work. I've attached a model where I add the sigmas and the betas . Can you verify ...
