Genetic optimization over Bayesian networks for diagnosis tasks
This is a Matlab program made to test the genetic algorithm proposed to find out the tests which should be made to get the highest certainty over the inference (diagnosis) made on a Bayesian network, but without letting the costs of such tests grow too much.
The program works through an easy to use GUI. Although it was designed to use a very simple example (the one shown in the article describing the algorithm and its uses), it is general enough to hold other examples as well.
In order to use this program, you will need to have the Bayes Net Toolbox for Matlab developed by Kevin Murphy installed in your computer.

Documentation
There is a user manual available.
For documentation on the way the scripts and functions work, type "help x" with x the name of the script/function on Matlab, or check the source code (I think it is fairly commented).
To execute the GUI simply type "agbn" on Matlab.

Level of Support
I will try to keep improving this program to make even more general. This will be done as time allows.
I will try to answer every question e-mailed to me. Bug fixes and new features will be done upon request and/or during improvements.

License
This program is free to use and distribute for non-comercial use. I hope that it might help someone on their own research. I would also like to see this program grow better and capable of doing other tasks; for now, that will only be possible with the help of other people interested on it.
