      Applies a Markov Blanket correction to the network structure,
      after a network structure is learned. This ensures that all
      nodes in the network are part of the Markov blanket of the
      classifier node.

  Specified by:
    `getTechnicalInformation` in interface `TechnicalInformationHandler`
  Returns:
    the technical information about this class

### buildStructure

    public void buildStructure(BayesNet bayesNet,
                               Instances instances)
                        throws java.lang.Exception

  buildStructure determines the network structure/graph of the network using the maximimum weight spanning tree algorithm of Chow and Liu

  Overrides:
    `buildStructure` in class `LocalScoreSearchAlgorithm`
  Parameters:
    `bayesNet` - the network
