This module contains tools for representing discrete nodes -- those with a finite number of outcomes and a finite number of possible parent values -- as class instances with their own *choose* method to choose an outcome for themselves based on parent outcomes.

[docs]class Discrete(): ''' This class represents a discrete node, as described above. It contains the *Vdataentry* attribute and the *choose* method. ''' def __init__(self, Vdataentry): ''' This class is constructed with the argument *Vdataentry* which must be a dict containing a dictionary entry for this particular node. The dict must contain an entry of the following form:: "cprob": { "['<parent 1, value 1>',...,'<parent n, value 1>']": [<probability of vals[0]>, ... , <probability of vals[n-1]>], ... "['<parent 1, value j>',...,'<parent n, value k>']": [<probability of vals[0]>, ... , <probability of vals[n-1]>], } Where the keys are each possible combination of parent values and the values are the probability of each of the *n* possible node outcomes, given those parent outcomes. The *Vdataentry* attribute is set equal to this *Vdataentry* input upon instantiation. ''' self.Vdataentry = Vdataentry '''A dict containing CPD data for the node.'''
[docs] def choose(self, pvalues): ''' Randomly choose state of node from a probability distribution conditioned on parent values *pvalues*. This method has two parts: (1) determining the proper probability distribution, and (2) using that probability distribution to determine an outcome. Arguments: 1. *pvalues* -- An array containing the assigned states of the node's parents. This must be in the same order as the parents appear in ``self.Vdataentry["parents"]``. The function goes to the proper entry in *Vdataentry*, as specified by *pvalues*, and samples the node based on the distribution found there.
