Node

There are three kind of nodes indicating what our intention is for a variable: nature nodes, decision nodes, and utility nodes.  A nature node is sometimes called a chance node when its relationship with its parents is probabilistic, and a deterministic node when it isn’t.  Nature nodes may also be called target nodes if we are interested in their beliefs after belief updating, or findings nodes if we have, or will have, a finding for them.
