ABSTRACT:
A decision support system, including a decision model, provides an indication, either of itself or in combination with a weighted average of the scores assigned to the decision model factors, of the degree to which the pattern of contribution scores corresponds to a benchmark pattern. This indication, referred to as a matching index, can be calculated according to a class of matching index functions, including those based on regression-correlation and Bayesian pattern matching and cost/loss concepts. The matching index also allows the designation of model factors as `Must Have` or `Must Not Have` factors, and asymmetric functions for special circumstances. The decision support system can be used to assist in the control of a variety of systems and/or processes and/or in the analysis of information, wherever patterns of information may assist in the selection of an alternative from amongst a set of decision alternatives.
