Note that
Vector
Vector{Belief}
Vector{Belief{DistributionType}}
Vector{Belief{D}} # for some D<: DistributionType
are all different types. Your z is a Vector{Belief}, where Belief, without
parameters, is an abstract type.
For any D<:DistributionType , Belief{D} is a concrete type, even if D
itself is abstract, as in Belief{DistributionType}
You're function is written to only accept arguments of the form
Vector{Belief{D}} , whereas you are trying to execute it with an argument
of type Vector{Belief}, which is different.
I think you want you're signature to be
function Testa{B<:Belief}(basin::Vector{B})
"Test"
end
which will accept both arguments of type Vector{Belief} and
Vector{Belief{D}}.
Hope this helps.
