Classification Bayes Network Learner

Bayes Network learning using various search algorithms. Calls RWeka::make_Weka_classifier() from RWeka.

Custom mlr3 parameters

• output_debug_info:

  • original id: output-debug-info

• do_not_check_capabilities:

  • original id: do-not-check-capabilities

• num_decimal_places:

  • original id: num-decimal-places

• batch_size:

  • original id: batch-size

• Reason for change: This learner contains changed ids of the following control arguments since their ids contain irregular pattern

• N removed:

  • Initial structure is empty

• P removed:

  • Maximum number of parents

• R removed:

  • Random order

• mbc removed:

  • Applies a Markov Blanket correction to the network structure, after a network structure is learned

• S removed:

  • Score type

• A removed:

  • Initial count (alpha)

• Reason for change: The parameters are removed because they don't work out of the box and it's unclear how to use them.
