Project 2: FAQ

Questions and hints

• Can I use a Bayes Nets toolbox that someone else has implemented?
  No! You will need to hand in code that you implemented on your own, and the code that you hand in *must* have been what generated all of the results you report.
• I'm getting a "should be sorted and unique" exception. What's wrong?
  When creating a FunctionVariableSet, the variables in your FunctionVariable array must be in lexicographic order and each of them must occur at most once.
• I get an error like this: Two FunctionVariables named Mileage have different domains!
  Try retrieving variables from the network instead of using the FunctionVariable constructor (it makes the domain binary by default):
  var = bn.nodes.getNode("Mileage").var
• Where can I find all the source code?
  Unzip the jar file (jar -xf BN.jar) and then look in src/
