BAYESIAN KNOWLEDGE DISCOVERER
Version 1.0 (Beta) for MS Windows 95/NT
Bayesian Knowledge Discoverer (BKD) is a computer program designed to
extract Bayesian Belief Networks from (possibly incomplete) databases.
The aim of BKD is to provide a Knowledge Discovery tool able to
extract reusable knowledge from databases, using sounds and accountable
statistical methods. BKD Version 0.1 and Version 0.2 have been
distributed in over 1000 copies worldwide.
CAPABILITIES
The capabilities of BKD Version 1.0 (Beta) include: estimation of
conditional probability from data, extraction of the graphical
structure from data, goal oriented evidence propagation, missing data
handling using Bound and Collapse, discretization of continous
variables, automated definition of nodes from data, conversion from and
to the proposed standard Bayesian Networks Interchance Format (BNIF),
Graphic User Interface and a movie-based on-line help.
REQUIREMENTS
BKD Version 1.0 (Beta) for MS Windows 95/NT requires MS Windows 95/NT,
32 MB RAM (64 MB preferred), and 30 MB of free diskspace.
