Documentation of Decision-Aiding Software: INFER Users Manual

Abstract

The purpose of this manual is to provide users of the INFER system with the background material and the detailed instructions necessary to use and interpret the various functions that INFER provides. The manual also presents the technical concepts inherent in the INFER approach, including various 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 probability theory and 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.
