A comparison bewteen Elvira software and AMIDST toolbox in environmental data: A case study of flooding risk management

Bayesian networks are extensively used in different research areas, environmental modelling in particular, because of their advantages. This has encouraged the development of several tools and software. In this paper, a comparison between Elvira software and AMIDST toolbox is made using data from a flood risk modelling example. Even when Elvira model presents better results, it is computationally inefficient in large datasets, which makes necessary to explore new and more powerful tools, like AMIDST, for environmental modelling tasks.
