TikZ library for drawing Bayesian networks, graphical models and (directed) factor

graphs in LaTeX.

Contents

--------

Provides the following node styles:

* :code:`latent`

* :code:`obs`

* :code:`det`

* :code:`const`

* :code:`factor`

* :code:`plate`

* :code:`gate`

Provides the following commands (note that any of the arguments can be

empty):

* :code:`\factor [options] {name} {caption} {inputs} {outputs}`

* :code:`\plate [options] {name} {fitlist} {caption}`

* :code:`\gate [options] {name} {fitlist} {inputs}`

* :code:`\vgate {name} {fitlist-left} {caption-left} {fitlist-right}

  {caption-right} {inputs}`

* :code:`\hgate {name} {fitlist-top} {caption-top} {fitlist-bottom}

  {caption-bottom} {inputs}`

* :code:`\edge [options] {inputs} {outputs}`

* :code:`\factoredge [options] {inputs} {factors} {outputs}`

Usage

-----

Install the package by copying tikzlibrarybayesnet.code.tex to your

LaTeX system or copy the file into projects that are using it.  To use

the library in your LaTeX file

.. code-block:: python

   \usepackage{tikz}

   \usetikzlibrary{bayesnet}

Compile the LaTeX example:

.. code-block:: none

   pdflatex example.tex

and see the resulting PDF file example.pdf.

Example

-------

   :align: center

   :alt: Bayesian network.

   PCA model as a Bayesian network and a directed factor graph.

This library is derived from a technical report "Directed Factor Graph

Notation for Generative Models" and the accompanying TikZ macros by

Laura Dietz 2010 (http://people.cs.umass.edu/~dietz/).  The technical

report is available in this repository as `dietz-techreport.pdf`.

GraphViz (http://www.graphviz.org/) is a more general open source

graph visualization software.  It uses DOT file format to describe the

structure of the graph.  The DOT file can be converted to LaTeX using

:code:`dot2tex` (http://www.fauskes.net/code/dot2tex/).

UAI (http://graphmod.ics.uci.edu/uai08/FileFormat) is a simple text

file format to describe Markov networks. The UAI file format can be

converted to DOT file format using :code:`uai2dot`

(https://github.com/drewfrank/uai2dot).
