Summary

Purpose

During this phase the variables described in the causal diagram are described more precisely, including also defining the causal relations in moe detail. It may also contain quality criteria and plans for collecting the necessary data or models needed to estimate the variable results.

Structure of the process

Procedure

The work in this phase happens in iterative process between collection of information, synthesis of the information into the form of the information structure, and discussions about the descriptions of variables. The work of this phase is actually also a continuous interplay with the following phase, executing variables.

Management

Analytica to Mediawiki converter software converts Analytica models to Mediawiki code. Please note that Analytica files must be saved in xml-mode. Converter is available at:

• http://publish.lendac.ie/anawiki/

Output format

This phase produces the descriptions of the attributes for all the included variables. The descriptions may be in the forms of e.g. text, tables, figures, hyperlinks, and computer code.
