ANNOUNCEMENT
TBMLAB_3.1
We would like to announce availability of the software package
TBMLAB, the Transferable Belief Model Laboratory,
essentially developed by Philippe Smets with the help of Thierry Denoeux.
TBMLAB is a demonstrator to study the Transferable Belief Model (TBM),
a model for the representation of uncertainty based on belief functions.
The TBM is initially inspired by the work of Glenn Shafer
to which many new developments have since been added.
Software: developed onMac under MatLab 5.2.
Also compatible with the most recent MatLab versions,
on MacClassic, Mac OSX, Windows, and normally also under Unix.
It is a self contained program, not a set of MatLab funstions.
It is free. It can be downloaded from the next web pages:
http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~psmets/#G
by clicking on the TBMLAB_3.1 entry.
The main features of TBMLAB :
- can be executed in batch mode or in an interactive mode
- special gui's to enter, edit and display belief objects
- belief propagations based onShenoy's algorithms
- the Evidential Network, a graphical interface for belief propagation
- belief combination, conditioning, transformation,
- the generalized Bayesian theorem (GBT)
- the pignistic probabilities
- a special purpose tabulator for the TBM
- tutorials on Mobius transforms, belief combination, GBT...
- several demonstrations
- precooked batch data sets
- a user guide in .pdf and many contextual helps on windows, on buttons
- ...
How to start TBMLAB is explained in the READ_ME (in Documents folder).
Some preliminary knowledge on what are belief functions is needed.
A short summary is given at the end of user guide.
If you are totally ignorant about what are belief functions,
look at the publications listed on the same web pages.
Any critical comments and suggestions are welcome.
Reports on crashes (there are so many dialects) should be emailed to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Enjoy TBMLAB.
Philippe Smets and Thierry Denoeux
