pchc (Q61565)

Bayesian network learning using the PCHC algorithm. PCHC stands for PC Hill-Climbing, a new hybrid algorithm that uses PC to construct the skeleton of the BN and then applies the Hill-Climbing greedy search. More algorithms and variants have been added, such as MMHC, FEDHC, and the Tabu search variants, PCTABU, MMTABU and FEDTABU. The relevant papers are: a) Tsagris M. (2021).
