Tumor
nodes to have states (aka T-categories) as well
#66
Given our new implementation of the graph representation and particularly the
Tumor
node implementation, it should be straightforward to enable tracking a tumor's T-category as a random variable:We basically need to give the
Tumor
node theallowed_states = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
and add anEdge
instance that has thisTumor
node both as start and as end (similar to the growth edges). This edge would then be parametrized with a probability that during one time-step the T-category increases by one.If then functions like the
generate_transition()
don't just iterate over LNLs, but over all nodes and consider their possible evolutions, thisTumor
node's state would be automatically incorporated and tracked as a random variable, just like all otherLymphNodeLevel
node's states.When tracking T-category as a random variable, the distributions over diagnose times make no sense anymore and we would need to define a "diagnosis probability" that depends on all the node's states. We discussed this idea already.
