Links on Decision Analysis and Bayesian Nets

• Agena Extensive material on Bayesian nets and software metrics
• Tutorial on BBNs and probability theory
• The SERENE method for building Bayesian nets. Although this method is targetted at safety critical systems evaluation there is a lot of material in here that is valuable for anybody interested in building Bayesian nets.
• Introduction to Bayesian Belief Networks. A high level introductory guide to BBNs and probability
• B-Course- build and run Bayesian nets on-line
• Microsoft research decision theory group. Microsoft have applied BBN technology in the Office 97 Answer Wizard (the "paperclip" assistants) and have used BBNs for on-line printer problem troubleshooting.
• Hugin A/S expert homepage. Download the Hugin demonstration version. Stunning!
• Ramoni and Sebastiani's work on Data Mining using the Bayesian Knowledge Discoverer (BKD) tool.
• Kevin Murphy's Introduction to Bayesian networks (includes extensive information on tools)
• Association for Uncertainty in AI. On-line proceedings of UAI conferences.
• Carlos Rodriguez's pages on Bayesian probability. Postscript downloads on Bayesian probability and statistical theory.
• The Data Understanding Group at NASA. Automated data analysis using decision theory and Bayesian methods at NASA's AMES research center.
• Bayesian Systems Inc US company that provides  software for managing uncertainty based on Bayes. Some nice on-line examples of Bayesian deicison systems.

Links on Software Engineering

• R.S. Pressman & Associates Software Engineering Resources - extensive set of resources and links.
