List of all members.

## Public Member Functions
| BMEF (double frg0=1.0)
| Default constructor (=empty constructor).
| BMEF (const BMEF &B)
| Copy constructor.

| get statistics from another model
virtual void | bayes (const vec &data, const double w)
| Weighted update of sufficient statistics (Bayes rule).
void | bayes (const vec &dt)
| Incremental Bayes rule.
virtual void | flatten (const BMEF *B)
| Flatten the posterior according to the given BMEF (of the same type!).
BMEF * | _copy_ () const
| Flatten the posterior as if to keep nu0 data.
virtual string | to_string ()
| This method returns a basic info about the current instance.
virtual void | from_setting (const Setting &set)
| This method arrange instance properties according the data stored in the Setting structure.

## Protected Attributes
double | frg
| forgetting factor
double | last_lognc
| cached value of lognc() in the previous step (used in evaluation of `ll` )
RV | drv
| Random variable of the data (optional).
double | ll
| Logarithm of marginalized data likelihood.
bool | evalll
| If true, the filter will compute likelihood of the data record and store it in `ll` . Set to false if you want to save computational time.
## Extension to conditional BM
This extension is useful e.g. in Marginalized Particle Filter (bdm::MPF). Alternatively, it can be used for automated connection to DS when the condition is observed
const RV & | _rvc () const
| access function
virtual void | condition (const vec &val)
| Substitute `val` for `rvc`.
RV | rvc
| Name of extension variable.
## Logging of results
virtual void | set_options (const string &opt)
| Set boolean options from a string recognized are: "logbounds,logll".
virtual void | log_add (logger &L, const string &name="")
| Add all logged variables to a logger.
virtual void | logit (logger &L)
ivec | LIDs
| IDs of storages in loggers 4:[1=mean,2=lb,3=ub,4=ll].
ivec | LFlags
| Flags for logging - same size as LIDs, each entry correspond to the same in LIDs.

void bdm::BMEF::bayes | ( | const vec & | dt | ) | `[virtual]`

Incremental Bayes rule.

Parameters:

  | dt | vector of input data
