PnetName: Gets or Sets the name of a Netica network.

In ralmond/PNetica: Parameterized Bayesian Networks Netica Interface

Gets or Sets the name of a Netica network.

Description

Gets or sets the name of the network. Names must conform to the IDname rules

Usage

PnetName(net)
PnetName(net) <- value

Arguments

net	A NeticaBN object which links to the network.
value	A character scalar containing the new name.

Details

Network names must conform to the IDname rules for Netica identifiers. Trying to set the network to a name that does not conform to the rules will produce an error, as will trying to set the network name to a name that corresponds to another different network.

The PnetTitle() function provides another way to name a network which is not subject to the IDname restrictions.

Value

The name of the network as a character vector of length 1.

The setter method returns the modified object.

Note

NeticaBN objects are internally implemented as character vectors giving the name of the network. If a network is renamed, then it is possible that R will hold onto an old reference that still using the old name. In this case, PnetName(net) will give the correct name, and GetNamedNets(PnetName(net)) will return a reference to a corrected object.
