Method Detail

getParameterCount

public static double getParameterCount(Network network)

Gets the number of parameters in a Bayesian network.

Parameters:

network - The network.

Returns:

The number of parameters.

Throws:

NullPointerException - Thrown if [network] is null.

getParameterCount

public static double getParameterCount(Network network,
                                       ParameterCountOptions options)

Gets the number of parameters in a Bayesian network.

Parameters:

network - The network.

options - Options governing the parameter count.

Returns:

The number of parameters.

Throws:

NullPointerException - Thrown if [network] is null.

getParameterCount

public static double getParameterCount(Node node,
                                       int order)

Gets the parameter count for an individual node distribution.

Parameters:

node - The node that owns the distribution.

order - The distribution order. Always zero for non temporal nodes.

Returns:

The parameter count.

getParameterCount

public static double getParameterCount(Node node,
                                       NodeDistributionKey key)

Gets the parameter count for an individual node distribution.

Parameters:

node - The node that owns the distribution.

key - The distribution key. Order is always zero for non temporal nodes.

Returns:

The parameter count.
