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.
