Hi, I'm looking for an "easy" way to setup a decision tree. This is *not* any kind of regression, but a very simple DAG with probability on each edge and a value at each node. I just need a way to input the graph and calculate the expected value at each end node. The whole thing could be done with a calculator and pencil, but it would be nice to have everything in R.
Hi. Is the graph a tree or a general DAG? If i understand correctly, there is a single input node, where the process starts and in each non-end node, the process continues at a randomly chosen out-going edge with the specified probabilities. What is the output, if the process goes through a sequence of nodes, which are assigned the values w_0, ..., w_n? Here, w_0 is the value of the start node and w_n the value of an end-node.
