Abstract

We describe a novel tool for model checking ω-regular specifications on interval Markov chains, recursive interval Markov chains and interval stochastic context-free grammars. The core of the tool is an iterative expectation maximisation procedure to compute values for the unknown probabilities in a parametrised system, which maximises the probability of satisfying the specification. The tool supports specifications given as LTL formulas or unambiguous Büchi automata.
