A stochastic programming language

This is two small implementations of the language described in

D. Koller, D. McAllester, and A. Pfeffer.  Effective Bayesian Inference for Stochastic Programs.  In Proceedings of the Fourteenth National Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-97), pages 740-747, Providence, Rhode Island, August 1997.

The implementations are in Java and Scheme.  Both have bugs.  The Scheme version is currently buggier, but is also much more concise.

There is a description of them available. [PostScript, 76k]

I've also implemented the probability monad in Scheme.

There's now a very tiny OCaml implementation of this.  It only has integers as a base type, but it's very small, so (hopefully) it's easier to understand what it's doing.  Here is the output of running it on some tests.
