help with continuous nodes

Post by masqnq »

The documentation about this seems somewhat outdated. I was hoping to make continuous gaussian nodes with discrete parents. Does anyone have some sample code that shows how one would go about doing this. Also could inference be performed on such a network and what would be a suitable algorithm.
I really appreciate any help.

Thanks.

Current implementation does not allow for mixing of continuous and discrete nodes. You can try to model pseudo-discrete features in continuous node with functions like If or Switch.

Thank you for the reply.
In case this changes anything I wanted to add to my earlier post that the continuous nodes would have discrete parents and no children. I'm guessing this is still not allowed but I wanted to clarify in case it is.
