      public Fcit()
      This class represents a FCIT algorithm.

      The FCIT algorithm is a bootstrap algorithm that runs a search algorithm to find a graph structure based on a given data set and parameters. It is a subclass of the Abstract BootstrapAlgorithm class and implements the Algorithm interface.
