Hi,
Is there an option (GeNIe or smile) to understand what are the most determinant factors/nodes of my BN? and to somehow quantify the size of the effect they generate?
Thanks!
Most determinant nodes
Re: Most determinant nodes
What about trying to use the strength of influence?
Re: Most determinant nodes
Thanks for the suggestion, but strength of influence does not capture what I need (that is, understand the most influential variables on my target node, and somehow quantify this influence).

Re: Most determinant nodes
You can consider using sensitivity analysis. It will give you the measure of the influence of each parameter of the network on the posterior probability of the selected target node and its outcome.
Re: Most determinant nodes
I think the suggestions of sensitivity analysis is the correct choice.
