Real/+ Predict
Use the " Real/+ Predict" command to predict the upper bound of variables. DecisionMaker presents you with all possible predictions and how valuable the DecisionMaker thinks that prediction is via a confidence number (the higher that number, the more confidence the DecisionMaker has in that prediction).The results of prediction will be saved in the answer file. If an error occurs in your Problem-Database or Question file, this command will suggest you test the Question data file first.
Real/-- Predict
Use the " Real/-- Predict" command to predict the lower bound of variables. DecisionMaker presents you with all possible predictions and how valuable the DecisionMaker thinks that prediction is via a confidence number (the higher that number, the more confidence the DecisionMaker has in that prediction).Real/0 PredictThe results of prediction will be saved in the answer file. If an error occurs in your Problem-Database or Question file, this command will suggest you test the Question data file first.
Use the " Real/0 Predict" command to predict the correct answer of variables. This command is more accurate than "Real/-- Predict" and "Real/-- Predict ", however, this command sometime does not produce any results and you are forced to use the other two commands. DecisionMaker presents you with all possible predictions and how valuable the DecisionMaker thinks that prediction is via a confidence number (the higher that number, the more confidence the DecisionMaker has in that prediction).The results of prediction will be saved in the answer file. If an error occurs in your Problem-Database or Question file, this command will suggest you test the Question data file first.
Real/+ Enumerative
Use the " Real/+ Enumerative" command to predict the upper bound of variables. This command is similar to "Real/+ Predict", but it goes through every possible outcome while " Real/+ Predict" only checks the important possibilities.
Real/-- Enumerative

Real/0 Enumerative
Use the "Real/0 Enumerative" command to predict the correct answer of variables. This command is similar to "Real/0 Predict", but it goes through every possible outcome while "Real/0 Predict" only checks the important possibilities.
Integer/+ Predict
Use the " Integer/+ Predict" command to predict the upper bound of variables. DecisionMaker presents you with all possible predictions and how valuable the DecisionMaker thinks that prediction is via a confidence number (the higher that number, the more confidence the DecisionMaker has in that prediction).The results of prediction will be saved in the answer file. If an error occurs in your Problem-Database or Question file, this command will suggest you test the Question data file first.
Integer/-- Predict
Use the " Integer/-- Predict" command to predict the lower bound of variables. DecisionMaker presents you with all possible predictions and how valuable the DecisionMaker thinks that prediction is via a confidence number (the higher that number, the more confidence the DecisionMaker has in that prediction).The results of prediction will be saved in the answer file. If an error occurs in your Problem-Database or Question file, this command will suggest you test the Question data file first.
Integer/0 Predict
Use the " Integer/0 Predict" command to predict the correct answer of variables. This command is more accurate than "Integer/-- Predict" and "Integer/-- Predict ", however, this command sometime does not produce any results and you are forced to use the other two commands. DecisionMaker presents you with all possible predictions and how valuable the DecisionMaker thinks that prediction is via a confidence number (the higher that number, the more confidence the DecisionMaker has in that prediction).The results of prediction will be saved in the answer file.

Example/Math Function (3, 3), 245
Use the "Example/Math Function (3, 3), 245" command to generate an example defined by:Example/Math Mapping (5, 5), 3675y1 = ( x1 + x2 + x3 ) Mod 7;
y2 = x1;
y3 = x2 Mod 5;
(3, 3), 245 stands for 6 variables: 3 inputs and 3 outputs; and 245 classes. The data is generated as follows: assume initially that (x1, x2, x3) is in state (1 0 0), then it will generate (1 1 0). Now we will use (x1, x2, x3) = (1 1 0) as an question, then it will generate an answer (2 1 1), ...
There are 69 rows of data, which are divided into two parts: the first 64 rows will be the Problem-Database file and the last 5 rows will be the Question file.
Use the "Example/Math Mapping (5, 5), 3675" command to generate an example defined by:Example/Cancer Database (9, 1), 2y1 = ( x1 + x2 + x3 ) Mod 7;
y2 = x1;
y3 = x2 Mod 5; 60%
y3 = ( x2 + 1 ) Mod 5; 40%
y4 = ( x4 + 1 ) Mod 5; 60%
y4 = ( x4 + 2 ) Mod 5; 40%
y5 = x4 Mod 3.
We will generate the data as follows: assume initially that (x1, x2, x3, x4, x5) is in state (1 0 0 0 0), then it will generate (1 1 0 1 0). Now we will use (x1, x2, x3, x4, x5) = (1 1 0 1 0) as an question, then it will generate an answer (2 1 2 3 1), ...
There are 9999 rows of data, which is divided into two parts: first 9994 rows will be the Problem-Database file and the last 5 rows will be the Question.
