 The characteristic feature of this model is that if the exact values of the latent variable were known, estimation of the parameters can be handled by a single model. For example, for the case of mixture models, posterior density for each component parameters would be a BayesianModel from Exponential Family.
 
-This class uses EM-style type algorithms for estimation of its parameters. Under this simplification, the posterior density is a product of exponential family members, hence approximate estimation project this class itself belongs to the exponential family.
