Bayesian Network Simulator

Draw reproducible ancestral samples from a Boolean Bayesian network and estimate its marginals.

Description

Draw reproducible ancestral samples from a Boolean Bayesian network.

Bayesian Network Simulator: Draw reproducible ancestral samples from a Boolean Bayesian network.

When to use Bayesian Network Simulator

Use this probability or sampling tool to compute a stated quantity or generate reproducible draws from a precisely parameterized distribution or stochastic model.

Network
Required object input.
Samples
Required integer input.
Seed
Required string input.

How Bayesian Network Simulator works

Draw reproducible ancestral samples from a Boolean Bayesian network. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1

Simulation
The resulting simulation returned as an object.

Limitations and assumptions

  • Results depend on parameterization, support, random source, seed, convergence, burn-in, autocorrelation, proposal quality, normalization, numerical tails, and whether model assumptions match the process. Samples are not exact evidence of convergence.
  • Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Alternative or Complementary approaches

Check analytic moments or known test cases, use independent chains and diagnostics for Monte Carlo methods, report seed and effective sample size, and inspect tail behavior.
