Enhanced Bayesian Network for Raster Data

e-BayNeRD

Enhanced Bayesian Network for Raster Data

• The e-BayNeRD model is an enhanced version of the BayNeRD (Bayesian Network for Raster Data) model, which was developed by Mello et al (2013):

MELLO, M. et al. Bayesian Networks for Raster Data (BayNeRD): Plausible Reasoning from Observations. Remote Sensing, v. 5, n. 11, p. 5999–6025, 15 nov. 2013. link

• The implemented improvements are described in the following conference paper:

SILVA, A. C. O.; MELLO, M. P.; FONSECA, L. M. G. Enhancements to the Bayesian Network for Raster Data (BayNeRD). XV Brazilian Symposium on GeoInformatics (2014). Proceedings of the Brazilian Symposium on GeoInformatics, Campos do Jordão, São Paulo, Brazil. link

To run

To run the e-BayNeRD model:

• Download the e-BayNeRD.r file to your working folder.
• In the RGui, set the working folder:

setwd("./your_working_folder")

• And run the following command to activate the e-BayNeRD menu in R (as highlighted in the image below).
