QUESTION
Up to now, in causalnex package, I only encountered Bayesian networks that were constucted from data. I want to know how to create my own network with my node parameters and CPDs from expertise. Anybody has some reference to it or an example?
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Mar-03 at 18:32It looks like causalnex doesn't directly support setting the CPD's manually, but you can look at the underlying code and see that it's using the pgmpy BayesianModel to simultaneously represent the structure and CPD's within a causalnex BayesianNetwork.
With that, you could add the CPD's you know via add_cpds instead of fitting them. To get at the BayesianModel
object it would be: bn._model
, where bn
is your causalnex.BayesianNetwork
object.
I'm not sure if this would make you just want to use pgmpy instead of causalnex or not!! It seems like the big benefit from causalnex is its use of the NOTEARS algorithm, which helps you build the Weighted Adjacency Matrix for your Directed Graph. Then again, it also coordinates some plotting for you.
Also, an important note from the docs to remind you that it's not really continuous, but discretised/binned:
Bayesian Networks in CausalNex support only discrete distributions. Any continuous features, or features with a large number of categories, should be discretised prior to fitting the Bayesian Network. Models containing variables with many possible values will typically be badly fit, and exhibit poor performance.

Vulnerabilities
No vulnerabilities reported
Install causalnex
You can use causalnex like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
