Description: PyBBN
        -----
        
        PyBBN is Python library for Bayesian Belief Networks (BBNs) exact inference using the
        `junction tree algorithm <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junction_tree_algorithm>`_ or Probability
        Propagation in Trees of Clusters. The implementation is taken directly from `C. Huang and A. Darwiche, "Inference in
        Belief Networks: A Procedural Guide," in International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, vol. 15,
        pp. 225--263, 1999 <http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~dpage/ijar95.pdf>`_. Additionally, there is
        the ability to generate singly- and multi-connected graphs, which is taken from `JS Ide and FG Cozman,
        "Random Generation of Bayesian Network," in Advances in Artificial Intelligence, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol 2507 <https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/5273/2fb57129443592024b0e7e46c2a1ec36639c.pdf>`_.
        There is also the option to generate sample data from your BBN. This synthetic data may be summarized to generate your
        posterior marginal probabilities and work as a form of approximate inference.

        Exact Inference Usage
        ---------------------
        
        Below is an example code to create a Bayesian Belief Network, transform it into a join tree,
        and then set observation evidence. The last line prints the marginal probabilities for each node.
        
        .. code:: python
        
            from pybbn.graph.dag import Bbn
            from pybbn.graph.edge import Edge, EdgeType
            from pybbn.graph.jointree import EvidenceBuilder
            from pybbn.graph.node import BbnNode
            from pybbn.graph.variable import Variable
            from pybbn.pptc.inferencecontroller import InferenceController
        
            # create the nodes
            a = BbnNode(Variable(0, 'a', ['on', 'off']), [0.5, 0.5])
            b = BbnNode(Variable(1, 'b', ['on', 'off']), [0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.6])
            c = BbnNode(Variable(2, 'c', ['on', 'off']), [0.7, 0.3, 0.2, 0.8])
            d = BbnNode(Variable(3, 'd', ['on', 'off']), [0.9, 0.1, 0.5, 0.5])
            e = BbnNode(Variable(4, 'e', ['on', 'off']), [0.3, 0.7, 0.6, 0.4])
            f = BbnNode(Variable(5, 'f', ['on', 'off']), [0.01, 0.99, 0.01, 0.99, 0.01, 0.99, 0.99, 0.01])
            g = BbnNode(Variable(6, 'g', ['on', 'off']), [0.8, 0.2, 0.1, 0.9])
            h = BbnNode(Variable(7, 'h', ['on', 'off']), [0.05, 0.95, 0.95, 0.05, 0.95, 0.05, 0.95, 0.05])
        
            # create the network structure
            bbn = Bbn() \
                .add_node(a) \
                .add_node(b) \
                .add_node(c) \
                .add_node(d) \
                .add_node(e) \
                .add_node(f) \
                .add_node(g) \
                .add_node(h) \
                .add_edge(Edge(a, b, EdgeType.DIRECTED)) \
                .add_edge(Edge(a, c, EdgeType.DIRECTED)) \
                .add_edge(Edge(b, d, EdgeType.DIRECTED)) \
                .add_edge(Edge(c, e, EdgeType.DIRECTED)) \
                .add_edge(Edge(d, f, EdgeType.DIRECTED)) \
                .add_edge(Edge(e, f, EdgeType.DIRECTED)) \
                .add_edge(Edge(c, g, EdgeType.DIRECTED)) \
                .add_edge(Edge(e, h, EdgeType.DIRECTED)) \
                .add_edge(Edge(g, h, EdgeType.DIRECTED))
        
            # convert the BBN to a join tree
            join_tree = InferenceController.apply(bbn)
        
            # insert an observation evidence
            ev = EvidenceBuilder() \
                .with_node(join_tree.get_bbn_node_by_name('a')) \
                .with_evidence('on', 1.0) \
                .build()
            join_tree.set_observation(ev)
        
            # print the marginal probabilities
            for node in join_tree.get_bbn_nodes():
                potential = join_tree.get_bbn_potential(node)
                print(node)
                print(potential)
        
        Building
        --------
        
        To build, you will need Python 3.7. Managing environments through `Anaconda <https://www.anaconda.com/download/#linux>`_
        is highly recommended to be able to build this project (though not absolutely required if you know
        what you are doing). Assuming you have installed Anaconda, you may create an environment as
        follows (make sure you `cd` into the root of this project's location).
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            conda env create -f environment.yml
            conda activate pybbn37
            python -m ipykernel install --user --name pybbn37 --display-name "pybbn37"
        
        
        Then you may build the project as follows. (Note that in Python 3.6 you will get some warnings).
        
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            make build
        
        
        To build the documents, go into the docs sub-directory and type in the following.
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            make html
        
        
        Installing
        ----------
        
        Use pip to install the package as it has been published to `PyPi <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pybbn>`_.
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            pip install pybbn
