Request: Allow Cycling With A Warning

[SteveM]

I use GeNie for framing out process problems using influence diagrams. Sometimes there is feedback so I'd like to be able to create cycles for illustration only. No calculations are required so the cycle is harmless computationally.

So could a switch be added that allows cycling with a warning rather than absolutely preventing it? I suppose the same switch could turn the calculation engine off and on.

Thanks,

SteveM

The implementation of the feature you're suggesting would be possible, but the cost is nontrivial. GeNIe uses SMILE for representing the network. All algorithms in SMILE assume that network is a DAG (this includes code for propagating the evidence, for example). The library would have to become aware of the new switch.
