The SAR software repository consists of Matlab and Fortran programs. Matlab programs run in 
serial. Fortran programs run both in serial and parallel on various distributed shared memory 
architectures such as SGI Origins, IBM SP and Regatta and CrayX1 (soon). The SAR software 
implementations calculate the exact log-determinant in the maximum-likelihood function. More 
details are available in the "readme" files. Epsilon, y and x forming programs are from 
pre-processing part. Two datasets are used for lab purposes to illustrate the differences between 
DM(Data-Mining) and SDM(Spatial Data-Mining): one small dataset (n=16) used with examples and 
other larger dataset (n=2500) for laboratory exercises.
