Lea 3.1.0 final is now released!

---> http://pypi.org/project/lea/3.1.0

What is Lea?
------------
Lea is a Python module aiming at working with discrete probability
distributions in an intuitive way.

It allows you modeling a broad range of random phenomena: gambling, weather,
finance, etc. More generally, Lea may be used for any finite set of discrete
values having known probability: numbers, booleans, date/times, symbols, ...
Each probability distribution is modeled as a plain object, which can be
named, displayed, queried or processed to produce new probability
distributions. Lea also provides advanced functions and Probabilistic
Programming (PP) features; these include conditional probabilities, Bayesian
networks, joint probability distributions, Markov chains and symbolic
computation. Lea can be used for AI, PP, gambling, education, ...

LGPL - Python 2.6+ / Python 3 supported

What's new in Lea 3.1.0?
------------------------
The present version essentially consolidates the previous one (3.0.1),
adding just few new features. The main changes are:

- new switch_func method, for defining CPT by a function (far less
memory-consuming for models like noisy-or, noisy-max)
- improvements on Markov chain functions, including calculation of absorbing
MC
- optimization of lea.max_of, lea.min_of functions
- bug fixes for symbolic calculation (in particular for Python 2.7)
- numerous addings/improvements on wiki tutorials and documentation,
especially on Lea API

Many thanks...
--------------
... to Paul Moore, Jens Finkhaeuser and Rasmus Bonnevie who provided
proposals, contributions, feedbacks that gave the impetus for the present
version.
