crema: A Java repository from GiorgiaAuroraAdorni

CreMA is a open-source java toolbox that provides multiple learning and inference algorithms for credal models.

An example of exact inference in a credal network is given below.

import ch.idsia.crema.factor.credal.vertex.VertexFactor;
import ch.idsia.crema.inference.ve.CredalVariableElimination;
import ch.idsia.crema.model.ObservationBuilder;
import ch.idsia.crema.model.Strides;
import ch.idsia.crema.model.graphical.SparseModel;

public class Starting {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        double p = 0.2;
        double eps = 0.0001;

        /*  CN defined with vertex Factor  */

        // Define the model (with vertex factors)
        SparseModel<VertexFactor> model = new SparseModel<>();
              int A = model.addVariable(3);
        int B = model.addVariable(2);
        
        model.addParent(B,A);

        // Define a credal set of the partent node
        VertexFactor fu = new VertexFactor(model.getDomain(A), Strides.empty());
        fu.addVertex(new double[]{0., 1-p, p});
        fu.addVertex(new double[]{1-p, 0., p});
        
        model.setFactor(A,fu);


        // Define the credal set of the child
        VertexFactor fx = new VertexFactor(model.getDomain(B), model.getDomain(A));
        fx.addVertex(new double[]{1., 0.,}, 0);
        fx.addVertex(new double[]{1., 0.,}, 1);
        fx.addVertex(new double[]{0., 1.,}, 2);

        model.setFactor(B,fx);

        // Run exact inference
        CredalVariableElimination<VertexFactor> inf = new CredalVariableElimination<>(model);
        inf.query(A, ObservationBuilder.observe(B,0));
    }
