function y = sample_node(CPD, pev) % SAMPLE_NODE Draw a random sample from P(Y|pa(y), theta) (root) % Y = SAMPLE_NODE(CPD, PEV) % % pev{i} is the evidence on the i'th parent. % Since a root has no parents, we ignore pev, % and return the value the root was clamped to when it was created. y = CPD.val;
