A Mathematica™ Package for Symbolic Bayesian Calculations

Paul Desmedt; Ignace Lemahieu; K Thielemans

A package, BayesCalc, is presented that extends the standard possibilities of Mathematica. The implemented extensions allow the automatic, symbolic calculation of many operations needed in the daily application of Bayesian theory. The main feature of the package is the symbolic calculation of posterior probabilities.

Evolution review of Bayescalc, a MATHEMATICA package for doing bayesian calculations

Paul Desmedt; Ignace Lemahieu; K Thielemans

The application of Bayesian probability theory requires only a few rules: the sum rule, the product rule and the marginalization procedure. However, in practice Bayesian computations can become tedious. The package BayesCalc implements the rules governing Bayesian probability theory in a Mathematica framework. Consequently BayesCalc can help introduce Bayesian theory to newcomers and facilitate computations for regular Bayesians.

PARALLEL MAXIMUM ENTROPY RECONSTRUCTION OF PET IMAGES

Koenraad Bastiaens; Paul Desmedt; Ignace Lemahieu

The application of a maximum entropy reconstruction method to PET images requires a long computation time. To overcome this problem multiprocessor machines could be used. In this paper we present a parallelization method for the Green expectation maximization method.

A Multicriterion Evaluation of the MemSys5 Program for PET

Paul Desmedt; Ignace Lemahieu; Koenraad Bastiaens

In Positron Emission Tomography (PET) images have to be reconstructed from noisy projection data. The noise on the PET data can be modeled by a Poisson distribution.

An Efficient Parallel Implementation Of The Ml-EM Algorithm For PET Image Reconstruction With A Multi-threaded Operating System

Koen Bastiaens; Ignace Lemahieu; Paul Desmedt; W. Vandermeersch

A bs t reict Multi-threaded operating systems were introduced in the quest to reduce the overhead caused by task manipulation and synchronization. An example is the recently introduced Solaris 2.1 multi-threaded operating system. In this paper, a parallel application in the domain of image processing is presented for which a successful use of the multi-threaded approach has led to an implementation with a nearly linear speedup.
