Class BasicQuery

java.lang.Object

org.encog.ml.bayesian.query.BasicQuery

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, BayesianQuery

Direct Known Subclasses:

EnumerationQuery, SamplingQuery

public abstract class BasicQuery
extends java.lang.Object
implements BayesianQuery, java.io.Serializable

Provides basic functionality for a Bayesian query. This class is abstract, and is not used directly. Rather, other queries make use of it.

Specified by:

finalizeStructure in interface BayesianQuery

getNetwork

public BayesianNetwork getNetwork()

Specified by:

getNetwork in interface BayesianQuery

Returns:

The Bayesian network that we are using this query for.

getEvents

public java.util.Map<BayesianEvent,EventState> getEvents()

Specified by:

getEvents in interface BayesianQuery

Returns:

A mapping of events to event states.

getEvidenceEvents

public java.util.List<BayesianEvent> getEvidenceEvents()

Specified by:

getEvidenceEvents in interface BayesianQuery

Returns:

The evidence events (inputs).

getOutcomeEvents

public java.util.List<BayesianEvent> getOutcomeEvents()

Specified by:

getOutcomeEvents in interface BayesianQuery

Returns:

The outcome events (outputs).

locateEventTypes

public void locateEventTypes()

Called to locate the evidence and outcome events.

Specified by:

locateEventTypes in interface BayesianQuery

reset

public void reset()

Reset all event types back to hidden.

Specified by:

reset in interface BayesianQuery

defineEventType

public void defineEventType(BayesianEvent event,
                            EventType et)

Define an event type to be either hidden(default), evidence(input) or outcome (output).

Specified by:

defineEventType in interface BayesianQuery

Parameters:

event - The event to define.

et - THe new event type.

getEventState

public EventState getEventState(BayesianEvent event)

Get the event state for a given event.

Specified by:

getEventState in interface BayesianQuery

Parameters:

event - The event to get the state for.

Returns:

The event state.

getEventType

public EventType getEventType(BayesianEvent event)

Get the event type.

Specified by:

getEventType in interface BayesianQuery

Parameters:

event - The event to check.

Returns:

The current event type for this event.

isNeededEvidence

protected boolean isNeededEvidence()

Returns:

Determines if the evidence events have values that satisfy the needed case. This is used for sampling.

satisfiesDesiredOutcome

protected boolean satisfiesDesiredOutcome()

Returns:

True, if the current state satisifies the desired outcome.

setEventValue

public void setEventValue(BayesianEvent event,
                          boolean b)

Set the event value to a boolean.

Specified by:

event - The event.

b - The value.

setEventValue

public void setEventValue(BayesianEvent event,
                          int d)

Set the event value as a class item.

Specified by:

Parameters:

event - The event to set.

d - An integer class item.

getProblem

Specified by:

getProblem in interface BayesianQuery

Returns:

Return a string that represents this query as a probability "problem".

clone

public BayesianQuery clone()

Specified by:

clone in interface BayesianQuery

Overrides:

clone in class java.lang.Object
