 DESCRIPTION
-------------


STOCHREL is a Matlab package for analyzing stochastic relations of random
variables and processes. The package provides basic functions for working with
relations, together with an implementation of the subrelation algorithm
described in the research article:

  Stochastic relations of random variables and processes.

 INSTALLATION
--------------

1. Download and unzip the file stochrel.zip
2. Place the M-files in a location on your Matlab path.
3. Start up Matlab.



-----------------
 GETTING STARTED
-----------------

The best way to get started is to run the script "example.m", and inspect how
the results behave when the model parameters are tweaked.



---------------
 DOCUMENTATION
---------------

Each M-file has its own documentation which can be accessed by typing at the
Matlab prompt:

  help <name of M-file> 



--------------
 TERMS OF USE
--------------

Anyone may use STOCHREL free of charge. Anyone may modify STOCHREL for their own
