Build a Influence Diagram

fast build with string

gum.fastID("A->*B->$C<-D<-*E->*G->H->*I<-D")

bifxml format file

diag=gum.loadID("res/diag.bifxml")
gnb.showInfluenceDiagram(diag)

diag

the hard way :-)

F=diag.addChanceNode(gum.LabelizedVariable("F","F",2))
diag.addArc(diag.idFromName("decisionVar1"),F)

U=diag.addUtilityNode(gum.LabelizedVariable("U","U",1))
diag.addArc(diag.idFromName("decisionVar3"),U)
diag.addArc(diag.idFromName("F"),U)
gnb.showInfluenceDiagram(diag)

diag.cpt(F)[{'decisionVar1':0}]=[0.9,0.1]
diag.cpt(F)[{'decisionVar1':1}]=[0.3,0.7]

diag.utility(U)[{'F':0,'decisionVar3':0}]=2
diag.utility(U)[{'F':0,'decisionVar3':1}]=4
diag.utility(U)[{'F':1}]=[[0],[5]]

Optimization in an influence diagram (actually LIMID)

gnb.flow.row(oil,gnb.getInference(oil))

# a function to show results on decision nodes T and D

Graphical inference with evidence and targets (developped nodes)

gnb.sideBySide(oil,
               gnb.getInference(oil,evs={'TestResult':'closed'}),
               gnb.getInference(oil,evs={'TestResult':'open'}),

               gnb.getInference(oil,evs={'OilContents':'Soaking'}),
               ncols=4)

Soft evidence on chance node

gnb.showInference(oil,evs={'OilContents':[0.7,0.5,0.8]})

Forced decision

gnb.showInference(oil,evs={'Drilling':'Yes'})

LIMID versus Influence Diagram

The default inference for influence diagram actually an inference for LIMIDs. In order to use it for classical (and solvable) influence diagram, do not forget to add the sequence of decision nodes using addNoForgettingAssumption.

infdiag=gum.fastID("Chance->*Decision1->Chance2->$Utility<-Chance3<-*Decision2<-Chance->Utility")
infdiag

ie=gum.ShaferShenoyLIMIDInference(infdiag)
try:
    ie.makeInference()
except gum.GumException as e:
    print(e)

[pyAgrum] Fatal error: This LIMID/Influence Diagram is not solvable.

ie.addNoForgettingAssumption(["Decision1","Decision2"])
gnb.sideBySide(ie.reducedLIMID(),ie.junctionTree(),gnb.getInference(infdiag,engine=ie))

Customizing visualization of the results

Using pyAgrum.config, it is possible to adapt the graphical representations for Influence Diagram (see the notebook 99-Tools_configForPyAgrum.ipynb).

gum.config.reset()
gnb.showInference(infdiag,engine=ie,size="7!")

Many visual options can be changed when displaing an inference (especially for influence diagrams)

# do not show inference time
gum.config["notebook","show_inference_time"]=False
# more digits for probabilities
gum.config["notebook","histogram_horizontal_visible_digits"]=3

gnb.showInference(infdiag,engine=ie,size="7!")

# specificic for influence diagram :
# more digits for utilities
gum.config["influenceDiagram","utility_visible_digits"]=5
# disabling stdev for utility and MEU
gum.config["influenceDiagram","utility_show_stdev"]=False
# showing loss (=-utility) and mEL (minimum Expected Loss) instead of MEU
gum.config["influenceDiagram","utility_show_loss"]=True

gnb.showInference(infdiag,engine=ie,size="7!")

# visual changes for influence diagram and inference
gum.config.reset()
gum.config.push() # keep the current state
gum.config['notebook','graph_rankdir']='LR'
gnb.sideBySide(infdiag,gnb.getInference(infdiag,engine=ie,targets=["Decision1","Chance3"]))

# more visual changes for influence diagram and inference
gum.config.pop() # back to the last state

#shape (https://graphviz.org/doc/info/shapes.html)
gum.config["influenceDiagram","chance_shape"] = "cylinder"
gum.config["influenceDiagram","utility_shape"] = "star"
gum.config["influenceDiagram","decision_shape"] = "box3d"

#colors
gum.config["influenceDiagram","default_chance_bgcolor"] = "green"
gum.config["influenceDiagram","default_utility_bgcolor"] = "MediumVioletRed"
gum.config["influenceDiagram","default_decision_bgcolor"] = "DarkSalmon"

gum.config["influenceDiagram","utility_show_stdev"]=False
