Abstract

En 中文
Dynamic Bayesian networks are a type of multivariate time series forecasting model capable of a level of interpretability thanks to their graphical representation. They have been reported extensively in the literature in a variety of areas, but their application usually involved an ad hoc implementation or adaptation of existing Bayesian network software to a dynamic case. In this paper, we present dbnR, an R package that encapsulates the whole process of learning the model and parameters from data and performing inference. The package provides three different structure learning algorithms, exact approximate inference and a visualization tool that allows inspection of the graphical structure of the networks. The aim of dbnR is to provide a tool that enables fast deployment of dynamic Bayesian network models and to make them readily available as general purpose forecasting models.
