Welcome to the BBN Analysis tool home page. The purpose of this tool is to support validation via analysis of all setting of evidence w.r.t. a hypothesis. It is possible to specify rules for specific settings and discover if there are threshold that can be used as a representation of a specific evidence setting.

This tools is currently a complement to Genie and is not a full-blown IDE for Bayesian Belief Networks. It is under development and is in a alpha-state (version 0.6), meaning that it is unstable, there are some functions missing (e.g., it is not possible to save and restore certain states). The tool is developed as a part of the HELICOPTER project.
