“We found Analytica’s influence diagrams were the most natural tool to express our ideas about model structure. We also liked the way we could use probability distributions to be explicit about uncertainties. It can flexibly display simple point estimates or entire probability density plots, according to the interest of the …

"We chose Analytica because we wanted a model that would be transparent, with assumptions obvious to all, and easy to communicate. We liked its graphical user interface. We needed to model the large uncertainties of climate change, so one nice feature was the ease of choosing and using probability distributions.”
