Description : MML-based automatic clustering; unsupervised learning
Snob is a program for clustering, that is, for discovering the
natural classes in data, without supervision. It is comparable to
AutoClass (also available as a .deb), especially now that newer
versions of AutoClass have started to mimic the Minimum Message
Length induction in Snob. Minimum Message Length induction is a
scale-invariant Bayesian technique based on information theory.
In a paper by Upald and Neufeld (1996)
comparing the unsupervised classifiers Snob, AutoClass, and ART2,
Snob did the best and ART2 the worst, with AutoClass in the middle.
Snob also used to have more powerful heuristics than AutoClass, but
recent versions of AutoClass may have borrowed some of Snob's
heuristics. This (vanilla) version of snob can handle
both continuous and discrete (multistate) variables, but restricts
continuous variables to Gaussian distributions. (Non-free versions
of Snob can handle Poisson, von Mises, and other distributions.) In
addition, the vanilla version assumes all variables are
uncorrelated. Snob has been applied to phenotypic taxonomy,
bioinformatics, image compression, author identification,
clinical psychology, and many other problems. For more
information, see:

Snob-Vanilla is the GPL version of Snob. Chris Wallace is the author of
this and most other versions of Snob. He has released this GPL. I have
put it into CVS, made a better Makefile, upgraded the
documentation, and created a .deb which works well enough here. I would
like to include Snob-Vanilla in the official Debian distribution, but
lack the packaging skill to take on that responsibility. I would be
happy to work with someone who has the skill.
I would be willing to pay moderate amounts for this service.

Hello,
This is an automatic mail sent to close the RFP you have reported or
are involved with.
Your RFP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 450 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.
As this an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the RFP is still of your interest, or there has been
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).
To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:
reopen 240200
thanks bts
Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
240200@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.
This is the second massive wnpp closing that is being done. The next close
will be done on inactive RFPs older than 365 days and finally, an automatic
script will close, by default, *inactive* RFPs when they reach one year of
inactivity.
A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.
Thanks for your cooperation,
