These are also distributedunder the GNU General Public License (version 2 or later).The included version contains versions of these written in Matlabprogramming language.  Due to restrictions of the Matlab language,they are a little slow and use more memory than would be necessary.The required functions can be easily replaced by more efficient MEXimplementations written by Douglas M. Schwarz and available e.g. athttp://www.lce.hut.fi/~ave/code/genops/.  After downloading thepackage, the required gminus and gtimes functions can be compiledfollowing the instructions in the package.USAGE-----------------------------------------------------------------Please refer to the demonstration script 'run_helix' and Matlabdocumentation of function 'nlfa'.CONTACT INFORMATION---------------------------------------------------The WWW home page of this package is:  http://www.cis.hut.fi/projects/bayes/The authors can be reached by paper mail:  Bayes group  Laboratory of Computer and Information Science  P.O.Box 5400  FI-02015 HUT   Finlandor by email:  nlfa@cis.hut.fi
