Analytic Procedures for Evaluating Decision Aids.

Abstract

This report describes research conducted by Applied Decision Analysis (ADA) for the Office of Naval Research (ONR) during the period from April to November 1979. The purpose of this research is to extend the analytical characterization of Navy tactical command and control decisions developed by ADA during the previous phase of this research, develop a practical method for evaluating and improving existing and proposed decision aids, and apply it to the identification and design of aids for anti-air warfare (AAW) decisions at the unit and task-force levels. In addition, several analytical procedures have been developed to measure formally some of the characteristics and capabilities of decision aids that are outlined in the taxonomies. In particular, a method of measuring the credibility classes of decision aids is described in this report. (Author)
