Hi,
I'm trying to build a range of BBNs using the bayesian search algoritm in pysmile.
I have all my data in one dataset and would like to build different BBNs out of it using different combinations of variables. Everything seems to work, but I can't find a way to select different colums as in GeNIe. Is there a function in SMILE/pysmile to select/deselect the variables/columns that will be used in calculating the BBN?
pysmile - select columns

Re: pysmile - select columns
Structure learning algorithms in SMILE always use all columns in the dataset. SMILE has an option to remove the columns, however the wrappers (jSMILE, PySMILE, SMILE.NET) do not expose this functionality. If you're not using C++ you'll need to vertically filter your original dataset.
