The distribution names must match <code>inla() family=''</code>.
Similar to <code>get.var.types()</code>, mainly different in output.

The 'abn' R package facilitates Bayesian network analysis, a
probabilistic graphical model that derives from empirical data a
directed acyclic graph (DAG). This DAG describes the dependency
structure between random variables. The R package 'abn' provides
routines to help determine optimal Bayesian network models for a given
data set. These models are used to identify statistical dependencies
in messy, complex data. Their additive formulation is equivalent to
multivariate generalised linear modelling, including mixed models with
independent and identically distributed (iid) random effects. The core
functionality of the 'abn' package revolves around model selection,
also known as structure discovery. It supports both exact and
heuristic structure learning algorithms and does not restrict the data
distribution of parent-child combinations, providing flexibility in
model creation and analysis. The 'abn' package uses Laplace
approximations for metric estimation and includes wrappers to the
'INLA' package. It also employs 'JAGS' for data simulation purposes.
