HP Bayesian node classifier

[Bharat27]

Hi Team,

I'm working with HP BN classifier node and having a little difficulty in interpreting the plots. I am using Naive Bayes as my network model and there is a variable ranking table that shows the score of different variables, I wanted to ask you that if my score is coming negative than what does it mean ??

.

Best Regards,

Bharat

You can find the formula for the BIC on page 4 of this paper: Building Bayesian Network Classifiers Using the HPBNET Procedure

Note that it will always be negative for a discrete probability distribution, and the higher the BIC, the better the model.

Hope that helps.
