RoC (Robust Bayesian Classifier)
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.
