About INGOR

INGOR is an implementation of Bayesian network estimation algorithms. It implements Prof. Imoto's Bayesian network estimation algorithm using B-spline nonparametric regression [1], Prof. Tamada's Neighbour Node sampling and repeat algorithm [2], etc. It is also released as SiGN-BN 2, and these are almost identical except for the name.

This is the online web document site of INGOR.

INGOR includes SFMT (SIMD-oriented Fast Mersenne Twister) for random number generation.

Maintainer/Developer

INGOR is developed and maintained by Prof. Yoshinori Tamada at Hirosaki University.

History

INGOR was developed based on SiGN-BN, that is gene network estimation software developed by the same developer. SiGN-BN will be replaced by INGOR in the future release.
