After creating a graph, conditional probability distribution parameters can be calibrated using historical data or reflecting expert judgement.
Features
Several optimization techniques available.
Start simple with regression under linear assumptions on node dependencies.
Incorporate expert judgment in parameterizing nodes distributions.
Data imputation techniques available for incomplete datasets.
Frequency matching.
Preprocessing methods available prior to calibration.
Data transformation routines. Node types: Categorical, Discrete, Continuous, Mixture, Deterministic.
