Table Dialog Deterministic / Chance Selector

Deterministic/Chance Selector

The table dialog box has a selector that allows you to make a nature node = 4 && typeof(BSPSPopupOnMouseOver) == 'function') BSPSPopupOnMouseOver(event);" class="BSSCPopup" onclick="BSSCPopup('X_PU_deterministic_node.htm');return false;">deterministic or = 4 && typeof(BSPSPopupOnMouseOver) == 'function') BSPSPopupOnMouseOver(event);" class="BSSCPopup" onclick="BSSCPopup('X_PU_chance_node.htm');return false;">probabilistic (i.e. a chance node).  If you use this selector before you have entered anything into the table, it will just modify the dialog box to be suitable for entering deterministic or probabilistic information.  If you have already entered a relation, that table will be converted.

Converting a deterministic table to a probabilistic representation is simple: each row of the result will consist of all zeroes, except a single 100% entry at the state the original deterministic function mapped to.

Converting a probabilistic relationship to a deterministic one generally loses some information.  For each parent configuration the deterministic value will be the state that was most likely in the probabilistic table (i.e. had the highest = 4 && typeof(BSPSPopupOnMouseOver) == 'function') BSPSPopupOnMouseOver(event);" class="BSSCPopup" onclick="BSSCPopup('X_PU_conditional_probability.htm');return false;">conditional probability).
