Interface IProbabilisticNetworkBuilder

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultProbabilisticNetworkBuilder

public interface IProbabilisticNetworkBuilder

A builder for networks, used by the I/O classes in order to generate a new Network. This is useful in order to re-use I/O classes to load specific subclasses of Nodes and Networks, instead of hard-coding Node/Network types.
