Some variable elimination algorithms, such as computing the most probable explanation, record values of variables as they are eliminated.
Some variable elimination algorithms, such as computing the most probable explanation, record values of variables as they are eliminated. Such values are stored in a factor that maps values of the other variables to a value of the eliminated variable. This factor is produced by finding the value of the variable that "maximizes" the entry associated with the value in the product factor resulting from eliminating this variable, for some maximization function. The recordingFunction determines which of two entries is greater according to the maximization function. It returns true iff the second entry is greater. The recording function is an option so that variable elimination algorithms that do not use it can ignore it.

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.
A list of universes that depend on this universe such that evidence on those universes should be taken into account in this universe.

Method for choosing the elimination order.
Method for choosing the elimination order. The default order chooses first the variable that minimizes the number of extra factor entries that would be created when it is eliminated. Override this method if you want a different rule.

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.
Returns a mapping of parameters to sufficient statistics resulting from elimination of the factors.
