A "BayesianBrick" object used to select a method.

This is a generic function that will generate the MAP estimate of a given "BayesianBrick" object. For the model structure: 
 theta|gamma ~ H(gamma) 
 X|theta ~ F(theta) 
MAP esitmate of theta is theta_MAP = argmax_theta p(theta|gamma,x).

A class of frequently used Bayesian parametric and nonparametric model structures, as well as a set of tools for common analytical tasks. Structures include Gaussian and Normal-Inverse-Wishart conjugate structure, Gaussian and Normal-Inverse-Gamma conjugate structure, Categorical and Dirichlet conjugate structure, Dirichlet Process on positive integers, Dirichlet Process in general, Hierarchical Dirichlet Process ... Tasks include updating posteriors, calculating marginal likelihood, calculating posterior predictive densities, sampling from posterior predictive distributions, calculating "Maximum A Posteriori" (MAP) estimates ...
