Charts

Context

With the Charts function, you can plot variables from the dataset that is associated with the Bayesian network. If there no dataset is associated, the Charts function is not available.
In earlier releases of BayesiaLab, all plotting functions were arranged in the “Graphs” menu, which is now deprecated. For a clearer differentiation between network graphs and data graphs, the plotting functions are now available in the Charts window.

In the context of Charts, we refer to variables rather than nodes to emphasize that we are plotting the actual values of the variables rather than the discretized Node States.

Usage

You can access Charts in multiple ways:
- Menu > Data > Charts.
- Node Context Menu > Charts.
The Charts window opens up and provides a wide range of plotting options.
- If you had nodes selected when you opened the Charts window, the variables dropdown menus will be restricted to that selection.
- Some of the charting functions only apply to continuous variables.
- If the dataset contains a split for learning and test data, you can choose which set you want to display, i.e., learning data, test data, or the entire dataset.
