/**
* An EliminatableClusterTree, i.e., a set of variable clusters with factors, arranged in a tree,
* with the additional property that it represents the clique tree associated with a Bayes net.
*
* In GTSAM a junction tree is an intermediate data structure in multifrontal
* variable elimination. Each node is a cluster of factors, along with a
* clique of variables that are eliminated all at once. In detail, every node k represents
* a clique (maximal fully connected subset) of an associated chordal graph, such as a
* chordal Bayes net resulting from elimination.
*
* The difference with the BayesTree is that a JunctionTree stores factors, whereas a
* BayesTree stores conditionals, that are the product of eliminating the factors in the
* corresponding JunctionTree cliques.
*
* The tree structure and elimination method are exactly analogous to the EliminationTree,
* except that in the JunctionTree, at each node multiple variables are eliminated at a time.
