public class LocalConditionalConstraint
extends ConditionalConstraint

This class implements a local conditional constraint with the form of "R(C|L)", where "L" (a set) contains at least one parent variables of variable C from the Bayesian Belief Network.

Constructor Detail

LocalConditionalConstraint

public LocalConditionalConstraint(CondProbDistribution constraint)

Constructor. Constructs a local conditional constraint, 'R(C|L)' (L is a non-empty subset of C's parents, C is a variable). Assume the provided constraint is a legal local conditional constraint. We do not check it's validity here.

Parameters:

constraint - conditional PD

Method Detail

getConceptName

public java.lang.String getConceptName()

This method gets the local concept name in this local conditional constraint.

Returns:

concept name

getNumOfParentsInvolved

public int getNumOfParentsInvolved()

Gets the number of parent concepts involved in this local conditional constraint.

Returns:

parent concept number

getParentNamesInvolved

public java.lang.String[] getParentNamesInvolved()

Gets an array of involved parent names in this local conditional constraint.

Returns:

parent names
