- Abstract
This article introduces the DPL decision and risk analysis modeling package for Microsoft Windows from Applied Decision Analysis. Models are built using a combination of decision trees and influence diagrams. Models can use DPL's extensive function set, or incorporate spreadsheet analysis by linking with an application through Microsoft Windows DDE or by converting files saved in WK1 format. Output graphics include, policy trees, risk profiles, and policy summaries. The user can perform sensitivity analysis on all input values, including probabilities, displaying results as rainbow or tornado diagrams. Version 3.1, available in January 1994, will include Monte Carlo evaluation of large trees and support for Microsoft Excel 4.0 spreadsheet files. DPL is two versions. The standard version, priced at $495, is designed for novice users and includes all the power and features necessary for basic decision analysis. The advanced version costs $995 and includes additional modeling, analysis, and validation features. DPL requires a 286 or higher PC or PS/2 compatible computer, VGA or better graphics adapter, and a mouse. For optimum performance, a 386 or higher computer with a math coprocessor and at least 2M of memory is recommended. DPL also requires Microsoft Windows 3.0 or higher. A demonstration disk is available for a $5 shipping and handling charge.
