## 🎯 Quick Start

```python
from deepparameters import learn_cpd_for_node
import pandas as pd
from pgmpy.models import BayesianNetwork

# Load your data
data = pd.read_csv('your_data.csv')

# Define your Bayesian network structures
true_model = BayesianNetwork([('A', 'B'), ('C', 'B')])
learnt_model = BayesianNetwork([('A', 'B'), ('C', 'B')])

# Learn CPD with default settings
cpd = learn_cpd_for_node(
    node='B', 
    data=data, 
    true_model=true_model, 
    learnt_bn_structure=learnt_model,
    num_parameters=10
)

# Advanced usage with custom architecture and sampling
cpd = learn_cpd_for_node(
    node='B',
    data=data,
    true_model=true_model,
    learnt_bn_structure=learnt_model,
    num_parameters=20,
    network_type='lstm',           # Try: simple, advanced, lstm, autoencoder, vae, bnn
    sampling_method='4',           # Try: 1-8 for different sampling methods
    epochs=200,
    verbose=True
)
```

## 📊 Performance Evaluation

DeepParameters provides comprehensive evaluation metrics:

- **Mean Absolute Error (MAE)**: Primary accuracy metric
- **KL Divergence**: Distribution similarity measure  
- **Root Mean Square Error (RMSE)**: Error magnitude
- **Maximum Error**: Worst-case performance
- **JS Divergence**: Symmetric distribution distance
- **Cosine Similarity**: Directional similarity
- **Probability Consistency**: Probabilistic validity

```python
from deepparameters import evaluate_cpd_performance

# Evaluate learned CPD against ground truth
results = evaluate_cpd_performance(learned_cpd, true_cpd)
print(f"MAE: {results['mean_absolute_error']:.4f}")
print(f"KL Divergence: {results['kl_divergence']:.4f}")
```
