Probability of evidence

Post by adam »

I'm interested in getting probability of evidence. As I understand, there is a method returning it: double DSL_network::CalcProbEvidence(). However my concern is that the double type may not be sufficient for some extreme cases. Is there any method, or is it possible to add one that would return (and of course internally operate) on logarithms rather than direct values?

This was indeed observed with some models.

Implementation is certainly possible, but there are no plans for this feature at this point.
