Description: Calculate posterior joint and conditional probabilities,
        probability distributions of population frequencies, and
        information-theoretic measures, by means of Bayesian
        nonparametric methods. Data imputation is automatic and done in
        a principled way. Markov-chain Monte Carlo calculations are
        automatically handled and do not require user supervision.
        Applications range from statistical estimation and
        probabilistic hypothesis testing to evidence-based inference
        and decision making, in a wide range of disciplines from
        astrophysics to medicine. For more details and examples see for
