Abstract :
A formal approach to conducting hypothetical-situation analysis in decision-support-system models is presented. The formal approach is intended to minimize human weaknesses relating to information search strategies and use of firming evidence. A decision analytic model incorporating notions from experimental design is presented. A computer-assisted process is described, and research implications are considered.<>
