Method Detail

get

public static java.util.Set<Vertex> get(Vertex<?> aVertex)

This algorithm finds all of the vertices that shield it from the rest of the Bayesian Network. By knowing the Markov Blanket of a vertex, we can fully predict the behaviour of that vertex.

Parameters:

aVertex - the vertex to find the Markov Blanket for

Returns:

A set of vertices that are affected by, or affect, a given vertex
