Contributions summary:Abinash primarily contributed to the development and maintenance of the `pgmpy` library, focusing on core functionalities related to Bayesian Networks and causal inference. Their work involved fixing bugs in existing methods, such as `to_junction_tree()` in `MarkovModel`, and adding corresponding test cases. The user also improved code efficiency and accuracy by modifying the `get_factors` method in the `ClusterGraph` class and fixing bugs related to the `_is_converged()` method. Furthermore, the user refactored the `BayesianModel` class by introducing the use of an estimator.
