The algorithm to compute probability of specified evidence in a dependent universe.
The algorithm to compute probability of specified evidence in a dependent universe. We use () => Double to represent this algorithm instead of an instance of ProbEvidenceAlgorithm. Typical usage is to return the result of ProbEvidenceAlgorithm.computeProbEvidence when invoked.
A list of universes that depend on this universe such that evidence on those universes should be taken into account in this universe.
All implementations of factored algorithms must specify a way to get the factors from the given universe and dependent universes.
The sum, product operations on the factor types and appropriate values for zero and one must be defined.
The universe on which this variable elimination algorithm should be applied.
Called when the algorithm is killed.
Called when the algorithm is killed. By default, does nothing. Can be overridden.
Get the elements that are needed by the query target variables and the evidence variables.
Get the elements that are needed by the query target variables and the evidence variables. Also compute the values of those variables to the given depth. Only get factors for elements that are actually used by the target variables. This is more efficient. Also, it avoids problems when values of unused elements have not been computed.
In addition to getting all the needed elements, it determines if any of the conditioned, constrained, or dependent universe parent elements has * in its range. If any of these elements has * in its range, the lower and upper bounds of factors will be different, so we need to compute both. If they don't, we don't need to compute bounds.
Called when the algorithm is started before running any steps.
Called when the algorithm is started before running any steps. By default, does nothing. Can be overridden.
Kill the algorithm so that it is inactive.
Kill the algorithm so that it is inactive. It will no longer be able to provide answers.Throws AlgorithmInactiveException if the algorithm is not active.
Resume the computation of the algorithm, if it has been stopped.
Resume the computation of the algorithm, if it has been stopped. Throws AlgorithmInactiveException if the algorithm is not active.
Start the algorithm and make it active.
Start the algorithm and make it active. After it returns, the algorithm must be ready to provide answers. Throws AlgorithmActiveException if the algorithm is already active.
Stop the algorithm from computing.
Stop the algorithm from computing. The algorithm is still ready to provide answers after it returns. Throws AlgorithmInactiveException if the algorithm is not active.
Trait for algorithms that use factors.
