Node Editor — States
Context
The States tab in the Node Editor shows the states of nodes and their distributions. As such it represents one of the core elements of a Bayesian network.
For working with Bayesian networks, a solid understanding of what the states represent is absolutely critical.
In this context, it is essential to discern between variables that should be handled as Discrete Nodes or Continuous Nodes. And this distinction must be made at the very beginning of building a Bayesian network.
