  <dc:description>This software can be used in two situations. The first is
to predict the next outcome based on the previous states of a
discrete sequence. The second is to classify a discrete
response based on a number of discreate covariates. In both
situations, we use Bayesian logistic regression models that
consider the high-order interactions. The models are trained
with slice sampling method, a variant of Markov chain Monte
Carlo. The time arising from using high-order interactions is
reduced greatly by our compression technique that represents a
group of original parameters as a single one in MCMC step.</dc:description>
