Exporting beliefs


tex2html_wrap_inline33790 tex2html_wrap_inline33790 Syntax

  1. BD>export : L (vi) N1, N2, ... tex2html_wrap_inline33712

  2. BD>export : (vi) N1, N2, ... tex2html_wrap_inline33712

  3. BD>export : L (ri) N1, N2, ... tex2html_wrap_inline33712

  4. BD>export : (ri) N1, N2, ... tex2html_wrap_inline33712

where r and v are switches; tex2html_wrap_inline39108 are the names of elements or bases; and L is the name of a file label. Base notation (see §6.2.4) can be used with the names. i is an integer representing a valid belief store number.

The first form of the command is used to export beliefs so that they follow a label. Typically the label will be a string of alphabetic characters preceded by the symbol `@' (this symbol is used as the prefix recognised by [B/D] as implying that the remainder of a string is a label name). The label is output as one line of text. The second form of the command is identical to the first except that no label is defined, and no label will be exported.

The list of element names and bases, N1, N2, ..., defines the collection of elements for which a variance covariance matrix will be exported. It is an error if the collection so defined is empty. The elements in the collection are output in an the order given by the ordering convention (so that their ordering in the EXPORT:  command line is irrelevant). The variance-covariance matrix for the collection corresponding to belief store number i is output, one number per line. For example, suppose that the collection being output is tex2html_wrap_inline39176 . On successive lines the output consists of the following variances and covariances: tex2html_wrap_inline39178 , tex2html_wrap_inline39180 , ..., tex2html_wrap_inline39182 , tex2html_wrap_inline39184 , tex2html_wrap_inline39186 , ..., and so forth.

The latter two forms of the command, with r replacing v, duplicate the former two forms of the command, except that the corresponding beliefs are output as correlations rather than variances and covariances.
