Description: Models discrete sequential data using Bayesian Context
        Trees. Context trees, also known as Variable Length Markov
        Chains (VLMCs), are parsimonious Markov models where the order
        of dependence can vary with the observed past. Provides a
        generic 'R6' class structure that exposes the full tree for
        building custom algorithms, exact Bayesian inference via a
        bottom-up recursive algorithm (closed-form marginal likelihood,
        Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) tree, exact posterior probabilities,
        and exact sampling from the posterior), a frequentist estimator
        via the context algorithm with likelihood-ratio pruning,
        simulation utilities, and a Metropolis-Hastings sampler. See
