bayespy.nodes.Bernoulli

class bayespy.nodes.Bernoulli(p, **kwargs)

Node for Bernoulli random variables.

The node models a binary random variable with prior probability for value one:

Parameters:

p : beta-like node

Probability of a successful trial

Examples

>>> import warnings
>>> warnings.filterwarnings('ignore', category=RuntimeWarning)
>>> from bayespy.nodes import Bernoulli, Beta
>>> p = Beta([1e-3, 1e-3])
>>> z = Bernoulli(p, plates=(10,))
>>> z.observe([0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1])
>>> p.update()
>>> import bayespy.plot as bpplt
>>> import numpy as np
>>> bpplt.pdf(p, np.linspace(0, 1, num=100))
