Description
Summary:The BayesNetBP package has been developed for probabilistic reasoning and visualization in Bayesian networks with nodes that are purely discrete, continuous or mixed (discrete and continuous). Probabilistic reasoning enables a user to absorb information into a Bayesian network and make queries about how the probabilities within the network change in light of new information. The package was developed in the R programming language and is freely available from the Comprehensive R Archive Network. A shiny app with Cytoscape widgets provides an interactive interface for evidence absorption, queries, and visualizations.
