Abstract
As probabilistic computations play an increasing role in solving various problems, researchers have designed probabilistic languages to facilitate their modeling. Most of the existing probabilistic languages, however, focus only on discrete distributions, and there has been little effort to develop probabilistic languages whose expressive power is beyond discrete distributions. This dissertation presents a probabilistic language, called PTP (ProbabilisTic Programming), which supports all kinds of probability distributions.
