SMILE error -26

Post by ronnie »

Hi!

I get the following error message while using SMILE:
"
smile.SMILEException: smile.SMILEException: SMILE error -26 in function SetEvidence. Logged information: ERROR: conficting evidence beween nodes [var1] and [var2]
"
('conficting' comes from the error message. I assume it should be 'conflicting')

What does this mean (that evidences are 'conflicting' - all possible variable assignments are valid/defined in a joint probability function, right)? What could be a possible cause for this reaction?

Best regards

One of the possible scenarios looks like this: setting the evidence on var2 would also set var1 to propagated evidence with var1's outcome=stateX. However, var1 is already set to evidence with outcome=stateY. stateX and stateY cannot be both set as evidence and error -26 is returned from the SetEvidence call.
