Bayesian Network Classifier Toolbox

jBNC Toolkit

jBNC is a Java toolkit for training, testing, and applying Bayesian Network Classifiers. Implemented classifiers have been shown to perform well in a variety of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data mining applications.

Classifiers

	Naive Bayes
	TAN - tree augmented naive Bayes
	FAN - forest augmented naive Bayes
	STAN - selective tree augmented naive Bayes
	STAND - selective tree augmented naive Bayes with node discarding
	SFAN - selective forest augmented naive Bayes
	STAND - selective forest augmented naive Bayes with node discarding

Network Quality Measures

	HGC - Heckerman-Geiger-Chickering
	SB - Standard Bayesian
	LC - Local criterion
	LOO - Leave-One-Out cross validation
	CV_n,t - n -fold t-times Cross Validation

Quick Start

You can find an overview of jBNC Toolkit, including description how to use tools contained in the tookit here. Sample data can be downloaded here.

jBNC-WEKA

jBNC-WEKA package provides WEKA bindings for jBNC. It allows running jBNC classifiers and utilities from within WEKA, in particular from WEKA's graphical user interface called Explorer.
