Notes

Assume we want to sample from a complicated joint distribution. The Gibbs algorithm is a Markov Chain Monte-Carlo algorithm which calls samplers (implemented as MetropolisHastings objects) in a predetermined sequence (by default) or randomly: see setUpdatingMethod() to manually choose the behavior, and note the default behavior can be changed by setting the Gibbs-DefaultUpdatingMethod ResourceMap key. Each sampler samples from the conditional distributions of one or several components.
