  The Zurich Extragalactic Bayesian Redshift Analyzer is a software to
  compute and analyze photometric redshifts of galaxies.
  ZEBRA combines and extends several of the classical approaches to
  produce accurate photometric redshifts down to faint magnitudes. In
  particular, ZEBRA uses the template-fitting approach to produce
  Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian redshift estimates based on:
    * An automatic iterative technique to correct the original set of
      galaxy templates to best represent the SEDs of real galaxies at
      different redshifts;
    * A training set of spectroscopic redshifts for a small fraction of
      the photometric sample, to improve the robustness of the
      photometric redshift estimates; and
    * An iterative technique for Bayesian redshift estimates, which
      extracts the full two-dimensional redshift and template likelihood
      function for each galaxy.
