Hi everyone,
I'm attempting to use the bnlearn package to calculate conditional
probabilities, and I'm running into a problem when the "cpquery" function is
used within a loop. I've created an example, shown below, using data included
with the package. When using the cpquery function in a loop, a variable created
in the loop ("evi" in the example) is not recognized by the function. I receive
the error:
Error in parse(text = evi) : object 'evi' not found
The creation steps of "evi" are based on examples provided by the author.
Any help you could provide would be great. I'm eager to find a way that I can
apply the cpquery function for a large number of observations.
library(bnlearn)
data(learning.test)
fitted = bn.fit(hc(learning.test), learning.test)
bn.function <- function(network, evidence_data) {
a <- NULL
b <- nrow(evidence_data)
for (i in 1:b) {
evi <- paste("(", names(evidence_data), "=='",
sapply(evidence_data[i,], as.character), "')",
sep = "", collapse = " & ")
a[i] <- cpquery(network, (C=='c'), eval(parse(text=evi)))
}
return(a)
}
test <- bn.function(fitted, learning.test)
Thanks for your help!
