virtual double GClasses::GBNNode::currentValue ( )

pure virtual

Returns the current value of this node. If this node represents a random variable, then it returns the value most-recently sampled from its distribution.

Implemented in GClasses::GBNMetropolisNode, GClasses::GBNCategorical, GClasses::GBNVariable, GClasses::GBNMath, GClasses::GBNProduct, GClasses::GBNSum, and GClasses::GBNConstant.

virtual void GClasses::GBNNode::onNewChild ( GBNVariable *  pChild )

pure virtual

This method is called when this node is added as the parent to pChild. It gives this node a chance to link back to the child if needed.

Implemented in GClasses::GBNVariable, GClasses::GBNMath, GClasses::GBNProduct, GClasses::GBNSum, and GClasses::GBNConstant.
