/**
 *  This Bayes Network learning algorithm uses tabu
 * search for finding a well scoring Bayes network structure. Tabu search is
 * hill climbing till an optimum is reached. The following step is the least
 * worst possible step. The last X steps are kept in a list and none of the
 * steps in this so called tabu list is considered in taking the next step. The
 * best network found in this traversal is returned.
