/*
This is an example illustrating the use of the Bayesian Network
inference utilities found in the dlib C++ library.
In this example all the nodes in the Bayesian network are
boolean variables. That is, they take on either the value
0 or the value 1.
The network contains 4 nodes and looks as follows:
B C
\\ //
\/ \/
A
||
\/
D
The probabilities of each node are summarized below. (The probability
of each node being 0 is not listed since it is just P(X=0) = 1-p(X=1) )
p(B=1) = 0.01
p(C=1) = 0.001
p(A=1 | B=0, C=0) = 0.01
p(A=1 | B=0, C=1) = 0.5
p(A=1 | B=1, C=0) = 0.9
p(A=1 | B=1, C=1) = 0.99
p(D=1 | A=0) = 0.2
p(D=1 | A=1) = 0.5

// Note that when we made our solution_with_evidence object we reused our join_tree object.
// This saves us the time it takes to calculate the join_tree object from scratch. But
// it is important to note that we can only reuse the join_tree object if we haven't changed
// the structure of our bayesian network. That is, if we have added or removed nodes or
// edges from our bayesian network then we must recompute our join_tree. But in this example
// all we did was change the value of a bayes_node object (we made node C be evidence)
// so we are ok.
// Next this example will show you how to use the bayesian_network_gibbs_sampler object
// to perform approximate inference in a bayesian network. This is an algorithm
// that doesn't give you an exact solution but it may be necessary to use in some
// instances. For example, the join tree algorithm used above, while fast in many
// instances, has exponential runtime in some cases. Moreover, inference in bayesian
// networks is NP-Hard for general networks so sometimes the best you can do is
// find an approximation.
// However, it should be noted that the gibbs sampler does not compute the correct
// probabilities if the network contains a deterministic node. That is, if any
// of the conditional probability tables in the bayesian network have a probability
// of 1.0 for something the gibbs sampler should not be used.
// This Gibbs sampler algorithm works by randomly sampling possibles values of the
// network. So to use it we should set the network to some initial state.

// and each time through we sample the bayesian network. Then we count how
// many times a node has a certain state. Then the probability of that node
// having that state is just its count/total times through the loop.
