A Note on Tornado Diagrams in Interval Decision Analysis

Group have resulted in a decision tool capable of handling imprecise information in complex decision situations. Some of the research has been directed towards developing decision analytical algorithms and applying these algorithms in a graphical user interface. The decision tool takes intervals as well as comparative relations as input constraint, and is incorporating sensitivity analyses into...

There is a single crop in this part of the boreal zone with maximum production during the first 2 weeks of August. We measured standing crops from 1993...
