Great tool to build a Business Case Decision Tree using BBN

I like that it allows me to quickly model complex systems, such as business cases involving decision trees. It can also display various types of charts/graphs depending on your inputs - very useful when modeling scenarios or visualizing data sets (for example). As much time has passed since this software was released, there are now many other tools which have improved their features over its implementation years later. If you're looking into modelling decisions using Bayesian Belief Networks…

Pros
  • Easy for beginners
  • Easier integration between different modules through APIs.
  • Very good support from tech team if something doesn't go according plan
Cons
  • Can take longer times sometimes due too complexity in building certain advanced algorithms

Basic for what most people need in terms of modeling

I like that it can handle complex models, such as those involving more than two factors (i.e., multiple regression). It's not intuitive to use at first; but once you get used to its quirks, it becomes easy enough to learn how to create an effective model using this software. There are no bells & whistles here - just basic functionality. If your goal is simply creating a network diagram, then go ahead! But if there are other features/tools available within Netica, consider them before making the

Pros
  • This tool offers great flexibility when building decision trees
Cons
  • Mostly okay, but...
