Table FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
I need to insert/delete a column/row - how is it done?
Can I create two or more tables in the same window?
How can a table represent a fact like 'Weather IS Wet'?
Can a table model represent uncertainty?
I need to insert/delete a column/row - how is it done?
Select the arrow tool and drag widely around the column or row.Then from the Build menu, choose the appropriate Insert or Delete command. Feel free to temporarily paste data into blank cells around your table, using this as 'scratch' space.
Can I create two or more tables in the same window?
Yes. See the 'Linked tables' example in the Examples Folder to see how two or more tables can work together to create a coherent model. The main idea is this: when at runtime InterModeller identifies the need to evaluate in the current table an attribute A which appears in other than the decision column, and that attribute also occurs in the decision column of another table, InterModeller automatically runs this other table in order to select the appropriate value for the attribute.
How can a table represent a fact like 'Weather IS Wet'?
Create a table with one column and two rows. Put 'Weather' into the upper cell and 'Wet' into the lower.
Can I transfer via the Clipboard a whole table from my spreadsheet into InterModeller, or vice-versa?
Not at present.
Can a table model represent uncertainty?
Only rule models can incorporate certainty factors, so only they can express quantified uncertainty in the knowledge base. But at runtime, a table model can certainly accommodate quantified uncertainty in the user data. Just make sure that certainty handling is enabled using the Run/Logic menu command before the model is run.
