Peanut

Parameterized Bayeisan Networks in R

This provides and object oriented layer on top of a CPTtools, to facilitate calculations with Parameterized models for Bayesian networks.
Peanut is a collection of abstract classes and generic functions defining a protocol, with the intent that the protocol can be implemented with different Bayes net engines. The companion pacakge PNetica provides an implementation using Netica and RNetica.
