% If 'T1' contains observed nodes, it will have 0s in the positions that are
% inconsistent with the evidence. We now remove these 0s and set the corresponding dimensions to
% size 1, to be consistent with the way most inference engines handle evidence, which is to
% shrink observed nodes before doing inference.

% This is used by pearl and enumerative inf. engines.
