Updates functions
-----------------
*****************

Update functions are the heart of probabilistic networks as they shape the propagation of beliefs in the neural hierarchy. The library implements the standard variational updates for value and volatility coupling, as described in Weber et al. (2023).

The `updates` module contains the update functions used during the belief propagation. Update functions are available through three sub-modules, organized according to their functional roles. We usually dissociate the first updates, triggered top-down (from the leaves to the roots of the networks), that are prediction steps and recover the current state of inference. The second updates are the prediction error, signalling the divergence between the prediction and the new observation (for input nodes), or state (for state nodes). Interleaved with these steps are posterior update steps, where a node receives prediction errors from the child nodes and estimates new statistics.


The `updates` module contains the update function used both for prediction and prediction-error steps during the belief propagation. These functions call intenaly the more specific update function listed in the prediction and prediction-error sub-modules.
Posterior updates
=================

Updating binary nodes
=====================
Update the sufficient statistics of a state node after receiving prediction errors from children nodes. The prediction errors from all the children below the node should be computed before calling the posterior update step.

Prediction error steps
======================
Prediction steps
================

Propagate prediction errors to the value and volatility parents of a given node.
Compute the expectation for future observation given the influence of parent nodes. The prediction step are executed for all nodes, top-down, before any observation.
