- java.lang.Enum<PropagationMethod>
- - com.bayesserver.PropagationMethod

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<PropagationMethod>
```
public enum PropagationMethod
extends Enum<PropagationMethod>
```
The propagation method used during inference.

Enum Constants
Enum Constant	Description
`MAX`	Max propagation is used to determine the most probable configuration of discrete variables, given any evidence entered.
`SUM`	Sum propagation is the default method, used to perform standard probabilistic inference.

- Enum Constant Detail
  - SUM
```
public static final PropagationMethod SUM
```
    Sum propagation is the default method, used to perform standard probabilistic inference.
  - MAX
```
public static final PropagationMethod MAX
```
    Max propagation is used to determine the most probable configuration of discrete variables, given any evidence entered. Also known as Most Probable Explanation (MPE).
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static PropagationMethod[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
    for (PropagationMethod c : PropagationMethod.values()) System.out.println(c);
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static PropagationMethod valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
