Documentation of Decision-Aiding Software: DECISION Users Manual

Abstract

The purpose of this manual is to provide users of the DECISION software system with the background materials and the detailed instructions necessary to use and interpret the various functions that DECISION provides. The manual also presents the decision-analytic concepts inherent in the decision tree modeling approach, including the assumptions and restrictions concerning its use. The manual includes case study applications. Because the manual must serve users both skilled and unskilled in the use of decision-analytic methodology, it is prepared in a modular fashion. Thus, whereas the initial sections provide detailed information for the naive user, the last section is direct and unelaborated for those users knowledgeable in the approach.
