Edit Filtered States

Context

  • In this panel, you can specify a Filtered State or Filtered Value for a node.
  • Only one Filtered State/Value is allowed per node, whether continuous or discrete.
  • This state is used to represent values that logically cannot exist, for instance the variable Pregnancy\mathit{Pregnancy} for a male survey respondent. In this context, neither state of Pregnancy\mathit{Pregnancy}, i.e., {True,False}\{\mathit{True}, \mathit{False}\}, would make sense. So, the Filtered State/Value represents an additional state, “not applicable.” Thus, the variable Pregnancy\mathit{Pregnancy} gets a third state: {True,False,n/a}\{\mathit{True}, \mathit{False}, \mathit{n/a}\} (or Filtered Value).
