TikZ library for drawing Bayesian networks, graphical models and (directed) factor graphs in LaTeX.
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}
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.

Directed factor graph of the citation influence model.
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).
