Software for Belief Networks

This document describes software for processing graphical belief function models, and related modes such as Bayesian networks, influence diagrams, and probabilistic graphical models. (Russell Almond)

Polynomial polynomial, mathematical expression which is a finite sum, each term being a constant times a product of one or more variables raised to powers. With only one variable the general form of a polynomial is a0xn+a  Splines

Software for density estimation (LOGSPLINE) hazard estimation(HEFT heft

Irish name for ovine illthrift.
), hazard regression (HARE) and spectral density estimation In statistical signal processing, the goal of spectral density estimation is to estimate the spectral density (also known as the power spectrum) of a random signal from a sequence of time samples of the signal.  (LSPEC) using polynomial splines. (Charles Kooperberg)

PANGAEA

Software for Pedigree Analysis pedigree analysis
n.
The study of an inherited trait in a group of related individuals to determine the pattern and characteristics of the trait, including its mode of inheritance, age of onset, and phenotypic variability.
 for Genetics (and Epidemiological Attributes). PANGAEA currently consists of four packages MORGAN, BOREL, PedPack, and HARDY. These subdirectories contain source- code of C programs for Genetic Analysis, including Monte Carlo segregation and linkage analysis (MORGAN), pedigree analysis and graphics (PedPack), and relationship inference (BOREL). Included are main programs, subroutine libraries, test data sets, and documentation. (Elizabeth Thomson)

Software for Bayensian Model Selection Software for Bayesian hypothesis testing and model selection in linear regression, generalized linear models, survival analysis and other models.

(Adrian Raffery and Chris Volinsliy)

Model Clustering Software Software for model-based clustering of multivariate data, and for detecting features in spatial point processes. (Adrian Raftery and Chris Fraley).

Derterministic Simulation Models Software

Software for making inference from deterministic simulation models. The programs available are specifically for whale population dynamics models, but could be extended to other applications. (Adrian Raftery and Geof Givens).

Monte Carlo Inference Software

Software for (1) determining the number of iterations in MCMC MCMC Markov Chain Monte Carlo

(operating system, compiler) bootstrap - To load and initialise the operating system on a computer. Normally abbreviated to "boot". From the curious expression "to pull oneself up by one's bootstraps", one of the legendary feats of Baron von Munchhausen.

); (3) MCMC algorithms for model uncertainty; and (4) using the sampling-importance-resampling (SIR) algorithm for inference about simulation models. (Addan Rafteg, Steven Lewis, Michael Newton, Jennifer Heeling, and Geof Divens.

Time Series Software

Software for (1) estimating long memory (Factional differencing) time series models; (2) robust Bayesian estimation and order selection for autoregressive models; and (3) MTD MTD Mounted

 models for higher-order Markov chains, (Adrian Raftey, Chris Fraley, Nhu Lee and Simon Tavare)

Polymars

A set of S functions for classification and (polychotomous) regression using adoptively selected polynomial splines for the model building based on the MARS algorithm.
