## precompute a cache of scores to data

#'
#' @description Iterates over all valid parent combinations - subject to ban, retain, and \code{max.parent} limits - for each node, or a subset of nodes, and computes a cache of scores (AIC, BIC, log marginal likelihood).
#' This cache can then be used in different DAG structural search algorithms.
#'

#' control = NULL,
#' verbose = FALSE,
#' debugging = FALSE,
#' ...)
#'
#' @param data.df a data frame containing the data used for learning each node. Binary variables must be declared as factors.
#' @param data.dists a named list giving the distribution for each node in the network, see \sQuote{Details}.
#' @param method should a "Bayes" or "mle" approach be used, see \sQuote{Details}.
#' @param group.var variable name for nodes to be fitted as variable intercept as in a mixed-effects model ("Bayes" and "mle") and gives the column name in \code{data.df} of the grouping variable which must be a factor denoting group membership.
#' @param adj.vars a character vector giving the column names in \code{data.df} for which the network score has to be adjusted for, see \sQuote{Details}.
#' @param cor.vars a character vector giving the column names in \code{data.df} for which a mixed model should be used to adjust for within group correlation or pure adjustment ("bayes" only).
#' @param dag.banned a matrix or a formula statement (see \sQuote{Details} for format) defining which arcs are not permitted - banned - see \sQuote{Details} for format. Note that colnames and rownames must be set, otherwise same row/column names as data.df will be assumed. If set as NULL an empty matrix is assumed.
#' @param dag.retained a matrix or a formula statement (see \sQuote{Details} for format) defining which arcs are must be retained in any model search, see \sQuote{Details} for format. Note that colnames and rownames must be set, otherwise same row/column names as data.df will be assumed. If set as NULL an empty matrix is assumed.
#' @param max.parents a constant or named list giving the maximum number of parents allowed, the list version allows this to vary per node (only for \code{method="bayes"}. A constant can be a single integer, a numeric vector of the length of variables with the same integer for all variable (e.g. \code{c(2,2)}) or a named list with all values being the same (e.g. \code{list("A"=2, "B"=2)}).
#' @param which.nodes a vector giving the column indices of the variables to be included, if ignored all variables are included. This is used to subset \code{data.df}.
#' @param defn.res an optional user-supplied list of child and parent combinations, see \sQuote{Details}.
#' @param centre should the observations in each Gaussian node first be standardized to mean zero and standard deviation one, defaults to TRUE.
#' @param dry.run if TRUE then a list of the child nodes and parent combinations are returned but without estimation of node scores (log marginal likelihoods).
#' @param control a list of control parameters. See \code{\link{build.control}} for the names of the settable control values and their effect.
#' @param verbose if TRUE then provides some additional output.
#' @param debugging if \code{TRUE} and \code{method = 'mle'} this enables to step into the for-loop.
#' @param ... additional arguments passed for optimization.
#'
#' @details The function computes a cache of scores based on possible restrictions (maximum complexity, retained and banned arcs).
#' This function is very similar to \code{\link{fitAbn}} - see that help page for details of the type of models used and in particular \code{data.dists} specification - but rather than fit a single complete DAG \code{buildScoreCache} iterates over all different parent combinations for each node, creating a cache of scores.
#' This cache of score could be used to select the optimal network in other function such as \code{\link{searchHeuristic}} or \code{\link{mostProbable}}.
#' \sQuote{dag.banned} and \sQuote{dag.retained} specify which arcs are forced to be absent or present in the DAG, respectively.
#' If provided as matrix, rows represent child nodes and columns their parents for elements with a value $=1$.
#'
#' Two very different approaches are implemented: a Bayesian and frequentist approaches. They can be selected using the \code{method} argument.
#' ## If \code{method="bayes"}:
#' This function is used to calculate all individual node scores (log marginal likelihoods).
#' Internal code is used by default for numerical estimation in nodes without random effects, and INLA is the default for nodes with random effects.
#' This default behavior can be overridden using \code{control=list(max.mode.error=...)}. The default is \code{max.mode.error=10}, which means that the modes estimated from INLA output must be within 10\% of those estimated using internal code.
#' Otherwise, the internal code is used rather than INLA.
#' To force the use of INLA on all nodes, use max.mode.error=100, which then ignores this check, to force the use of internal code then use \code{max.mode.error=0}. For more detials, see \link{fitAbn}.
#' The variable \code{which.nodes} is to allow the computation to be separated by node, for example, over different CPUs using say \code{R CMD BATCH}.
#' This may useful and indeed likely essential with larger problems or those with random effects.
#' Note that in this case, the results must then be combined back into a list of identical formats to that produced by an individual call to \code{buildScoreCache},
#' comprising of all nodes (in the same order as the columns in \code{data.df}) before sending it to any search routines. Using \code{dry.run} can be useful here.
#' ## If \code{method="mle"}:
#' This function is used to calculate all individual information-theoretic node scores. The possible information-theoretic based network scores computed in \code{buildScoreCache} are the maximum likelihood (mlik, called marginal likelihood in this context as it is computed node wise),
#' the Akaike Information Criteria (aic), the Bayesian Information Criteria (bic) and the Minimum distance Length (mdl). The classical definitions of those metrics are given in Kratzer and Furrer (2018). This function computes a cache that can be fed into a model search algorithm.
#' The numerical routines used here are identical to those in \code{\link{fitAbn}} and see that help page for further details and also the quality assurance section on the \href{https://r-bayesian-networks.org/}{r-bayesian-networks.org} of the \pkg{abn} website for more details.
