Save beliefs and data

 

Syntax

BD>save : NNNN

where NNNN is a sequence of alphanumeric characters such that the names NNNN.r and NNNN.c are legal filenames for the platform on which [B/D] is being run.

The SAVE:  command creates two files in the current directory. There must be sufficient filestore to save the two files, whose sizes will depend on the number of belief and data specifications to be saved. The command saves the following quantities:

• expectations in all expectation stores;
• variances and covariances in all expectation stores;
• data, including factors;
• the base structure.

Note in particular that the command does not currently save any information from adjustments or nodal information.
