+function root = findroot(bnet, cliques)
+
+%% findroot is to find the strong root in a clique tree assume it has one
+%% in the tree. For a clique tree constructed from a strongly triangulated
+%% graph, an interface clique that contains all discrete parents
+%% and at least one continuous node from a connected continuous component
+%% is for sure to be available as a guaranteed strong root.
+%% -By Wei Sun, George Mason University, 4/17/2010.
+
+%% We choose the interface clique that contains the max number 
+%% of interface nodes to be the strong root.
