  - ### Method Detail

    - #### globalInfo

          public java.lang.String globalInfo()

      Returns a string describing this object
      Returns:
        a description of the classifier suitable for displaying in the explorer/experimenter gui

    - #### buildStructure

          public void buildStructure(BayesNet bayesNet,
                            Instances instances)
                              throws java.lang.Exception

      Description copied from class: `SearchAlgorithm`
      buildStructure determines the network structure/graph of the network. The default behavior is creating a network where all nodes have the first node as its parent (i.e., a BayesNet that behaves like a naive Bayes classifier). This method can be overridden by derived classes to restrict the class of network structures that are acceptable.
      Overrides:
        `buildStructure` in class `SearchAlgorithm`
      Parameters:
        `bayesNet` -
        `instances` - the instances to work with
      Throws:
        `java.lang.Exception` - if something goes wrong

    - #### getRevision

          public java.lang.String getRevision()

      Returns the revision string.
      Specified by:
        `getRevision` in interface `RevisionHandler`
      Overrides:
        `getRevision` in class `SearchAlgorithm`
      Returns:
        the revision
