Version 1.0 (Beta) for MS Windows 9x/NT

This is to announce the  availability of RoC  (Robust Bayesian 
Classifier) Version 1.0 (Beta)  for  MS Windows 9x/NT.  RoC is 
a Bayesian supervised  classifier  able to  handle  incomplete 
databases with no assumption about the missing data mechanism.

The main capabilities of RoC are:

  - Estimation of conditional probability  distributions  from
    incomplete data. 
  - Class membership prediction. 
  - Unsupervised discretization. 
  - Treatment of incomplete cases with no assumption about the 
    missing data mechanism.
  - A cross validation facility included. 
  - Automated definition of classes and attributes from data.
  - Easy-to-use wizard interface. 
  - On screen context sensitive help.

RoC Version 1.0 (Beta)  requires  MS Windows  9x/NT,  32MB RAM 
(64MB preferred) and 10MB of free disk space.

RoC was developed by the Bayesian Knowledge Discovery  Project 
of  The Open University, United Kingdom,  and it is  available 
from http://kmi.open.ac.uk/projects/bkd.  RoC  is  distributed  
free of charge for educational and research purposes only.
