Software Packages
Some of the lectures will have the option to do some of the exercises on your laptop (but don't worry if you come without laptop—there will be plenty of regular exercises as well!). For this purpose, to save yourself some time, you might consider installing the following software beforehand:
Octave or Matlab
First, here are some Matlab/Octave scripts, by Damjan Skulj. They will be used for the imprecise Markov chains lecture.
If you have Matlab, great! If not:
Windows
Linux
For linux, Octave should be available from your distribution's software repository. For instance, on Fedora:
su -c 'yum install octave'
Python 2.6/2.7 + pycddlib + improb
This will be used for the decision making lecture.
Windows
Install, in the given order:
Linux
For linux, most distributions come with Python 2.6, setuptools, gcc, and gmp. For instance, on Fedora:
su -c 'yum install python python-setuptools gcc gmp gmp-devel'
Once you have all that, the pycddlib and improb packages are `easy installable', so you can run for instance:
easy_install --user pycddlib easy_install --user improb
Alternatively, download the source packages
and install them by running:
cd pycddlib-1.0.3 python setup.py install --user cd ../improb python setup.py install --user
