Hi Marco,

Thanks for the clarification. For my immediate purposes I think using the 
likelihood weighting method will suffice. I'm calculating conditional 
probabilities based on a single instantiation each time I use the function. The 
evidence I use for instantiation changes for each i+1 in my loop, and a new 
probability is computed using the new evidence. Since I'm using a single 
instantiation of the conditioning variables for each calculation in my loop, I 
believe the likelihood weighting method will work. Don't hesitate to correct me 
if I'm wrong.

Thanks,
