GeNIe: A Development Environment for Graphical Decision-Analytic Models.

摘要: Decision-analytic modeling tools, such as Bayesian networks and influence diagrams, are increasingly finding successful applications in medical informatics. Their major strengths sound theoretical foundations, ability to combine existing data with expert knowledge, the intuitive framework of directed graphs. is a general-purpose development environment for graphical decision-analytic models. Its reasoning engine, ( tructural odeling, nference, earning ngine) fully portable library C++ classes implementing methods directly amenable inclusion intelligent information systems. , an Active-X Windows version allows be accessed from any programming environment, including direct access WWW pages. We have made all three modules available free charge non-commercial research, teaching, personal use at following address: http://www2.sis.pitt.edu/~genie since July 1998. As March 1999, there over 1,300 users 50 countries. While current cover range fields, growing number apply informatics training building systems, example diagnosis therapy planning.
