It also supports a variety of Markov chain sampling methods, +which may be applied to distributions specified by simple formulas, +including simple Bayesian models defined by formulas for the prior +and likelihood. + +Before trying to use the software, you may need to read various +references that describe the models and the Markov chain methods used. + +Some of the programs in this package are designed for use with the xgraph +plot package for X-Windows, though the data can instead be plotted by +whatever plot program you have available. + +WWW: http://www.cs.utoronto.ca/~radford/fbm.software.html + +Radford Neal |
