Hierarchical Bayes Compiler

Description: HBC is a toolkit for implementing hierarchical Bayesian models. HBC was

created because I felt like I spend too much time writing boilerplate code for

inference problems in Bayesian models.

Infinite Hidden Markov Model

Description: A Matlab program which implements the beam sampler for an infinite hidden

Markov model with multinomial output. Easy to extend to other output distributions.

Also included is a collapsed Gibbs sampler for comparison.
