  <dc:title>Bayesian Networks &amp; Path Analysis</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package bnpa version 0.3.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>This project aims to enable the method of Path Analysis to infer causalities 
             from data. For this we propose a hybrid approach, which uses Bayesian network 
             structure learning algorithms from data to create the input file for creation of a 
             PA model. The process is performed in a semi-automatic way by our intermediate 
             algorithm, allowing novice researchers to create and evaluate their own PA models
             from a data set. The references used for this project are:
