Parameters:

• attributes (dict[int | str, dict]) – The dictionary of node parameters, keyed by node index.

• edges (tuple[AdjacencyLists, ...]) – Information on the network’s edges.

• node_idx (int) – The index of the child nodes whose distribution is to be sampled.

• rng_key (PRNGKey) – A PRNG key for random number generation.

Returns:

The sampled value from the node’s distribution.

Return type:
