question about Gibbs Sampling

[hjyoon93]

does the current version of Gibbs Sampling allow the user to have evidence?

If so, how am I supposed to do that?

@hjyoon93 Unfortunately, the current version doesn't have an option to specify the evidence.

Hi,

then in pgmpy is there any work around to specify the evidence?

or do you know any other Python library that offers Gibbs sampling with evidence?

@hjyoon93 Sorry for the super late reply. A simple workaround with pgmpy could be to reduce each CPD in the network to the given evidence. Then a simple Gibbs sampling can be run on this reduced network.

I have not personally used any other Python package for Gibbs sampling.
