Meter Node Style – Continuous Nodes

Belief-meters for nodes of continuous variables, or those with = 4 && typeof(BSPSPopupOnMouseOver) == 'function') BSPSPopupOnMouseOver(event);" class="BSSCPopup" onclick="BSSCPopup('X_PU_state_value.htm');return false;">state values defined, display a needle which shows the = 4 && typeof(BSPSPopupOnMouseOver) == 'function') BSPSPopupOnMouseOver(event);" class="BSSCPopup" onclick="BSSCPopup('X_PU_expected_value.htm');return false;">expected value of the node, and bands on the sides of the needle which show the = 4 && typeof(BSPSPopupOnMouseOver) == 'function') BSPSPopupOnMouseOver(event);" class="BSSCPopup" onclick="BSSCPopup('X_PU_standard_deviation.htm');return false;">standard deviation, like this:

The number to the left of the scale is the minimum value of the variable, and to the right is the maximum value.  Below the meter is the node’s name, title or both depending on the node’s labeling.

How To:  = 4 && typeof(BSPSPopupOnMouseOver) == 'function') BSPSPopupOnMouseOver(event);" class="BSSCPopup" onclick="BSSCPopup('X_PU_select_node.htm');return false;">Select any continuous nature node and choose Style Meter.  If no nodes are selected when you choose Style Meter, the = 4 && typeof(BSPSPopupOnMouseOver) == 'function') BSPSPopupOnMouseOver(event);" class="BSSCPopup" onclick="BSSCPopup('X_PU_default_node_style.htm');return false;">default style for the whole net will be set.  If the needle has no bands to the sides, or state names appear instead of numbers (like this), it is because the node is discrete.

Finding:  If a = 4 && typeof(BSPSPopupOnMouseOver) == 'function') BSPSPopupOnMouseOver(event);" class="BSSCPopup" onclick="BSSCPopup('X_PU_finding.htm');return false;">finding is entered, the background color of the node will be changed to gray (unless you've changed the default node colors).  If it is a = 4 && typeof(BSPSPopupOnMouseOver) == 'function') BSPSPopupOnMouseOver(event);" class="BSSCPopup" onclick="BSSCPopup('X_PU_positive_finding.htm');return false;">positive finding, the needle will be all the way to one side, indicating certainty.

Dimmed:  If the current position of the needle is invalid for the findings entered (probably because the latest findings have not yet been taken into account with a = 4 && typeof(BSPSPopupOnMouseOver) == 'function') BSPSPopupOnMouseOver(event);" class="BSSCPopup" onclick="BSSCPopup('X_PU_belief_updating.htm');return false;">belief updating), the needle will be drawn gray, or not at all.
