bayespy.nodes.Gate

class bayespy.nodes.Gate(Z, X, gated_plate=-1, moments=None, **kwargs)

Deterministic gating of one node.

Gating is performed over one plate axis.

Note: You should not use gating for several variables which parents of a same node if the gates use the same gate assignments. In such case, the results will be wrong. The reason is a general one: A stochastic node may not be a parent of another node via several paths unless at most one path has no other stochastic nodes between them.

__init__(Z, X, gated_plate=-1, moments=None, **kwargs)

Constructor for the gating node.

Parameters:

• Z (Categorical-like node) – A variable which chooses the index along the gated plate axis

• X (node) – The node whose plate axis is gated

• gated_plate (int (optional)) – The index of the plate axis to be gated (by default, -1, that is, the last axis).
