Class SemProposition

java.lang.Object
edu.cmu.tetrad.sem.SemProposition
All Implemented Interfaces:
TetradSerializable, Serializable
public final class SemProposition extends Object implements TetradSerializable
Represents propositions over the variables of a particular BayesIm describing and event of a fairly general sort--namely, conjunctions of propositions that particular variables take on values from a particular disjunctive list of categories. For example, X1 = 1 or 2 and X2 = 3 and X3 = 1 or 3 and X4 = 2 or 3 or 5. The proposition is created by allowing or disallowing particular categories. Notice that "knowing nothing" about a variable is the same as saying that all categories for that variable are allowed, so the proposition by default allows all categories for all variables--i.e. it is a tautology.
