GaussianProductOp.ProductAverageConditional - has quality band Experimental which is less than the recommended quality band (Preview)

Question

I have a quite simple rule and I get already the quality band issue. Can someone explain why this is happening? I have read the docs about Quality bands but I don't understand it.

This is the code I wrote that produces the warning:

Gaussian BornYoungPerLitterDist = new Gaussian(5.5, 0);
Gaussian BirthRateDist = new Gaussian(0.004102103451, 0.00000144);

Variable<double> BornYoungPerLitter = Variable.Random<double, Gaussian>(BornYoungPerLitterDist);
Variable<double> Birthrate = Variable.Random<double, Gaussian>(BirthRateDist);

InferenceEngine engine = new InferenceEngine();
Gaussian Born = engine.Infer<Gaussian>(BornYoungPerLitter * Birthrate);
Console.WriteLine(
    "Born Mean: {0:f10}, Standard Deviation: {1:f10}",
    Born.GetMean(),
    Math.Sqrt(Born.GetVariance())
);

the warning is:

Compiling model...compilation had 1 warning(s).

This question was answered on the Github repository from Infer.Net.

On date January 2019 the feature is still in development and for that always throws the warning.

This happens because the code that implements a product of Gaussian variables (GaussianProductOp) is in an early stage of development. If you want to disable the model compiler errors and/or the warnings, set the options on engine.Compiler.
