Hugin is a unique software package for construction, maintenance and usage of model-based decision support systems in areas characterized by uncertain or incomplete knowledge. It uses a simple knowledge representation, a causal probabilistic network – also known as a Bayesian Network, Belief network, or influence diagrams. Bayesian networks are often used to model domains that are characterized by inherent uncertainty.
Sample Applications of Bayesian Networks
- Medicine – diagnosis of muscle and nerve diseases
- Software – debugging, trouble shooting and evaluation of complex systems
- Information Processing – display of information for time-critical decisions; aircroft control
- Industry – diagnosis and repair of vehicles; process control
- Economy – credit application evaluation; portfolio risk analysis
- Military – NATO airborne early warning and control program
- Agriculture – blood typing and parentage verification of cattle; mildew management in winter wheat
