Description

Discrete latent variables discovery and structure learning in mixed Bayesian networks.

Format

A conditional linear-Gaussian Bayesian network to predict health insurance charges. The DAG structure was taken from the referenced paper and the probabilities learned from data. The vertices are:

age
bmi
charges
children

(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

region

(northeast, northwest, southeast, southwest);

sex

(female, male);

smoker

(no, yes);

Value

An object of class bn.fit. Refer to the documentation of bnlearn for details.
