The HPBNET Procedure

This example uses the Sampsio.Hmeq sample data set to learn a Markov blanket Bayesian network, which is specified by STRUCTURE=MB.

 proc hpbnet data=sampsio.hmeq indeptest=MI mialpha=0.2 structure=MB nbin=5
         missingint=IMPUTE missingnom=LEVEL;
     target Bad;
     input Reason Job Delinq Derog Ninq/level=NOM;
     input Loan Mortdue Value Yoj Clage Clno Debtinc/level=INT;
     output network=network;
 run;

The following statements produce Figure 7, which shows the network structure. In the structure, Bad is a parent of Delinq and Derog, Delinq and Ninq are the other parents of Derog, and Ninq is the other parent of Delinq.

 proc print data=network noobs label;
     var _parentnode_ _childnode_;
     where _type_="STRUCTURE";
 run;
