When I look at the model in Tan I get this output: > TAN Bayesian network Classifier model: [classFFB][matureTreeData.ESTATE|classFFB][matureTreeData.YEAR|classFFB:matureTreeData.ESTATE][matureTreeData.SMG|classFFB:matureTreeData.ESTATE] [classNPKMg3YW_IN|classFFB:matureTreeData.YEAR][classHarvIntensity|classFFB:matureTreeData.YEAR] nodes: 6 arcs: 9 undirected arcs: 0 directed arcs: 9 average markov blanket size: 3.00 average neighbourhood size: 3.00 average branching factor: 1.50 learning algorithm: TAN Bayes Classifier mutual information estimator: Maximum Likelihood (disc.) training node: classFFB tests used in the learning procedure: 10 The output node is classFFB. My understanding is that the model only has one node linked directly to the output node: ][matureTreeData.ESTATE|classFFB].

As for "showing the network after training", what kind of plot are you >looking for? I was looking for a plot which shows the learned network, an example of which I have attached. >Cheers, > Marco
