pyhgf.updates.prediction.volatile.predict_mean_value_level#

pyhgf.updates.prediction.volatile.predict_mean_value_level(attributes, edges, node_idx)[source]#

Predict the mean of the value level (external facing).

This uses value parents if they exist.

Parameters:

  • attributes (dict) – The attributes of the probabilistic nodes.

  • edges (tuple[AdjacencyLists, ...]) – The edges of the probabilistic nodes as a tuple of pyhgf.typing.AdjacencyLists. For each node, the entry lists its value/volatility parents and children.

  • node_idx (int) – Pointer to the volatile-state node that will be updated.

Returns:

The expected (predicted) mean of the value level.

Return type:

expected_mean
