Dear Group,
Generally most of the issues are tackled here, but as I am trying to cross check my understanding I found another question,
f_curr[st] = e[st][x_i] * prev_f_sum
Here, if I give one print command and see the results,
print "$$2",f_curr
It is showing an iterative update like,
$$2 {'Healthy': 0.3},
$$2 {'Healthy': 0.3, 'Fever': 0.04000000000000001}
I was trying to ask how the size is being updated, from 1 to 2 back to 1 again 2... is it for any loop then which one, I tried to change but not being able
to if any one of the esteemed members may kindly help me.
Regards,
Subhabrata Banerjee.
