of factors over all possible values that the random variables may take. It is a constant, also known as the partition function and is commonly denoted by Z. Gibbs Notation We can also represent the joint as a Gibbs distribution by operating on factor functions in log space. Using β(dⱼ)= log(ϕ(dⱼ)),
