Description: Learning, manipulation and  evaluation of mixtures of  truncated basis  functions 
  (MoTBFs),  which include mixtures of  polynomials (MOPs) and  mixtures of truncated 
  exponentials (MTEs). MoTBFs are a flexible framework for modelling hybrid Bayesian
  networks (I. Pérez-Bernabé, A. Salmerón, H. Langseth (2015) <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-20807-7_36>; H. Langseth, T.D. Nielsen, I. Pérez-Bernabé, A. Salmerón (2014) <doi:10.1016/j.ijar.2013.09.012>; I. Pérez-Bernabé, A. Fernández, R. Rumí, A. Salmerón (2016) <doi:10.1007/s10618-015-0429-7>). The  package provides  functionality for learning  univariate, multivariate and conditional  densities, with the  possibility of incorporating prior  knowledge. Structural learning of hybrid Bayesian  networks is also provided. A set of useful tools is provided, including  plotting, printing  and likelihood  evaluation. This  package  makes use of  S3 objects, with two new classes called 'motbf' and 'jointmotbf'.
