2. What’s BayesLAB
BayesLAB is a set of Matlab scripts which support Bayesian data analysis and inference.
BayesLAB is developed with engineering applications in mind.
Most of the files are developed and compiled by Prof. Brani Vidakovic, and are Copyright of COE at GeorgiaTech.
Part of the BayesLAB comes from various sources which are credited in the m-files.
BayesLAB is freely downloadable, with standard disclaimers.

3. Architecture of BayesLab

4. Architecture-Cont’d
“Rand” Important probability distribution functions, random number generators, and percentile functions are included.
“Tools” Common used tools in this BayesLAB, such as the wavelet transform
“Demos”----- Metropolis, Gibbs, Ising Model, Logistic regression, random effects, Extreme-value statistics, EM, BAMS
“Data” Typical data sets used in BayesLAB

5. Installation-Step 1
(1)After you unzip you should have the following subdirectory structure:
BayesLAB/Rand
BayesLAB/Demo
BayesLAB/Tools
BayesLAB/Data

6. Installation-Step 2 (2) Copy the unzipped files [directory BayesLAB]
yourMatlabFolder/toolbox/

7. Installation-Step 3 (3) Make it sure that you have the following
directory structure
yourMatlabFolder/toolbox/BayesLAB/Rand
yourMatlabFolder/toolbox/BayesLAB/Demo
yourMatlabFolder/toolbox/BayesLAB/Tools
yourMatlabFolder/toolbox/BayesLAB/Data

8. Installation-Step 4
(4) Go to yourMatlabFolder/toolbox/local and see if you have startup.m

9. Installation-Step 5
(5) If you do not have startup.m, create a new startup.m and save it in yourMatlabFolder/toolbox/local

10. Installation-Step 6
(6) Add the following to the existing or newly created startup.m
addpath yourMatlabFolder/toolbox/Bayeslab/Rand
addpath yourMatlabFolder/toolbox/Bayeslab/Demo
addpath yourMatlabFolder/toolbox/Bayeslab/Tools
addpath yourMatlabFolder/toolbox/Bayeslab/Data
