Analytica for Education

As Analytica was designed by a professor (Max Henrion, when he was teaching at Carnegie Mellon) to improve the quality of decision modeling, it is an a ideal tool for learning the art and science of creating quantitative decision models. Influence diagrams encourage you to conceptualize complex problems the same way expert analysts do. First, you identify the key decisions, objectives, and uncertainties, and the influences among them, then you create the underlying mathematical structure.

Here’s a sample of publications on research using Analytica

Analytica in the Classroom

Analytica is used for teaching and research in leading universities around the world for teaching quantitative modeling and decision analysis.

Analytica Free 101 edition is well-suited for most classroom applications. Free 101 has all the functionality of Analytica Professional edition, except that it limits the size of models that can be built to 101 objects. We expect that this size will be more than sufficient for classroom work, but if not, you can contact us at sales@lumina.com for a full license.
