The algorithm to compute probability of specified evidence in a dependent universe.
The algorithm to compute probability of specified evidence in a dependent universe. We use () => Double to represent this algorithm instead of an instance of ProbEvidenceAlgorithm. Typical usage is to return the result of ProbEvidenceAlgorithm.computeProbEvidence when invoked.

Return an estimate of the marginal probability distribution over the target that lists each element with its probability. The result is a lazy stream. It is up to the algorithm how the stream is ordered. Throws NotATargetException if called on a target that is not in the list of targets of the algorithm. Throws AlgorithmInactiveException if the algorithm is inactive.

Returns the factors needed for BP.
Returns the factors needed for BP. Since BP operates on a complete factor graph, factors are created for all elements in the universe.
Get the final factor for an element
Get the final factor for an element
Get the elements that are needed by the query target variables and the evidence variables.
Get the elements that are needed by the query target variables and the evidence variables. Also compute the values of those variables to the given depth. Only get factors for elements that are actually used by the target variables. This is more efficient. Also, it avoids problems when values of unused elements have not been computed.
In addition to getting all the needed elements, it determines if any of the conditioned, constrained, or dependent universe parent elements has * in its range. If any of these elements has * in its range, the lower and upper bounds of factors will be different, so we need to compute both. If they don't, we don't need to compute bounds.
Called when the algorithm is started before running any steps.
Called when the algorithm is started before running any steps. By default, does nothing. Can be overridden.
Kill the algorithm so that it is inactive.
Kill the algorithm so that it is inactive. It will no longer be able to provide answers.Throws AlgorithmInactiveException if the algorithm is not active.
