Detailed Description

PDDiscreteInterface is an abstract base class that represents a joint probability distribution $ Pr(x_1,\dots,x_k ) $.

The interface (so far) only implements Get. In the future

  • we may want to add a function that allows multiplication of PDDiscreteInterface's ?
  • I think it might not be convenient to add Set() functions (each implementation might use different set functions? E.g. a PD based on rules may use quite a different mechanism to set probabilities than a CPT)
