An interface which all user-defined conditional probability distributions (CPDs), as well as the { are expected to implement.

Link:  blog.EqualsCPD} class, 


public interface CondProbDistrib {
For a discrete distribution, returns the conditional probability of childValue given the argument values args. For a continuous distribution, returns the conditional probability density at childValue. 


    double getProb( List args, Object childValue );
Returns the natural log of the value returned by getProb. 


    double getLogProb(List args, Object childValue);
Samples a value according to this CPD given the args . The object returned should be of the specified type. 


    Object sampleVal( List args, Type childType ); 
}
