Case Generator

To generate cases based on the current conditional probability distribution push the simulation icon, which is shown in figure 1.

By default the Hugin GUI chooses to create 10,000 cases with 5 percent missing values. The user can change these values. To generate the cases one of the algorithms: MCAR or MAR must be selected. Figure 2 shows the case generator window.

Now the Hugin GUI will generate a set of cases and store these in a plain text file. Figure 3 shows the content of such a file where the cases are generated based on the Chest Clinic BN.
