Global only This algorithm is used for nodes that does not have local values. If you select this option for a node, all the local settings, such that “Local factor”, “Distribution”, and “Parameters” will simply be ignored. The output value of a node with “Global only” as algorithm is computed according to the following rule: Output value = Op1(X1, X2,…) where Op1 is the “Operator 1” for this node and X1, X2,… represent its input values. Whenever you create a deterministic node which is not “Independent”, its algorithm is initialized to be “Global only”.
