IDEAL: A Software Package for Analysis of Influence Diagrams
This provides a research tool for analyzing influence diagrams, but it is incremental as it packages existing methods without new algorithmic advances.
The authors introduced IDEAL, a software package for creating and evaluating belief networks and influence diagrams, implementing recent developments in a unified framework, and shared lessons from its development.
IDEAL (Influence Diagram Evaluation and Analysis in Lisp) is a software environment for creation and evaluation of belief networks and influence diagrams. IDEAL is primarily a research tool and provides an implementation of many of the latest developments in belief network and influence diagram evaluation in a unified framework. This paper describes IDEAL and some lessons learned during its development.
