Simulated data and Bayesian networks from the Christchurch Health and Development Study

Usage

chds

chds_bn

chds_bn.fit

Format

The dataframe chds includes 500 observations randomly simulated from the bn.fit object chds_bn.fit. It has four variables:

  • Social: family's social background with levels "High" and "Low"

  • Economic: family's economic status with levels "High" and "Low"

  • Events: number of family life events with levels "High", "Average" and "Low"

  • Admission: hospital admission of the child with levels "yes" and "no"

  • statistics: mark out of 100 for statistics

chds_bn is an object of class bn including the MAP Bayesian network from Barclay et al. (2013) and chds_bn.fit is an object of class bn.fit including the probabilities from the same article.

An object of class data.frame with 500 rows and 4 columns.

An object of class bn of length 3.

An object of class bn.fit (inherits from bn.fit.dnet) of length 4.
