Edit Temporal Indices (9.0)

Overview & Context

Temporal Indices allow you to specify a time order of nodes in a Bayesian network, which is taken into account during network learning. For instance, if Disease has a Temporal Index value lower than Symptom, it implies that Disease occurs before Symptom. As a result, any network learning algorithm would not consider Symptom as a parent node of Disease.

Updated Feature: Index Values

As of version 9.0, Temporal Indices can now be defined on a continuous scale. Temporal Indices can take on positive real values or 0.
