Analytica was designed by a professor (Max Henrion, when he was teaching at Carnegie Mellon) to improve the quality of decision modeling. So it's an a ideal tool for learning the art and science of creating quantitative decision models. Its influence diagrams encourage you to conceptualize complex problems the same way expert analysts do: First identify the key decisions, objectives, and uncertainties, and the influences among them. Analytica is widely used for teaching and research in leading universities around the World. Analytica models have been used as the basis of hundreds of research articles.
