Called after each iteration of sampling the full list of variables.
Called after each iteration of sampling the full list of variables. Return false if you want sampling to stop early.
Call just after each step of sampling.
Call just after each step of sampling.
Called just before each step of sampling.
Called just before each step of sampling. Return an alternative variable if you want that one sampled instead. Return null if you want to abort sampling of this context.
Do one step of sampling.
Do one step of sampling. This is a method intended to be called by users. It manages hooks and processCount.
