Additive Bayesian Network Modelling with the R Package abn

20 Nov 2019  ·  Gilles Kratzer, Fraser Iain Lewis, Arianna Comin, Marta Pittavino, Reinhard Furrer ·

The R package abn is designed to fit additive Bayesian models to observational datasets. It contains routines to score Bayesian networks based on Bayesian or information theoretic formulations of generalized linear models. It is equipped with exact search and greedy search algorithms to select the best network. It supports a possible blend of continuous, discrete and count data and input of prior knowledge at a structural level. The Bayesian implementation supports random effects to control for one-layer clustering. In this paper, we give an overview of the methodology and illustrate the package's functionalities using a veterinary dataset about respiratory diseases in commercial swine production.
