Go Forward

This command causes the computer to calculate node and bi-node probabilities for one or more e-cases.

Which e-cases are analyzed when you press Go Forward once? It depends on the current settings in the Prepare menu. If in the Prepare menu:

• an e-cases file has been designated, and
  • the Do One E-Case At A Time option is ON, then, when you press Go Forward, the computer analyzes the next e-case in the e-cases file.
  • the Do One E-Case At A Time option is OFF, then, when you press Go Forward, the computer analyzes all e-cases in the e-cases file.
• no e-cases file has been designated, then, when you press Go Forward, the computer analyzes the e-case specified in the Node Prior-Info. window.

Immediately after pressing Go Forward, it becomes possible to open the Node Probs. window.

If, prior to pressing Go Forward, at least one bi-node was selected in the Bi-nodes Of Interest window, then, upon pressing Go Forward, it becomes possible to open the Bi-node Probs. window.

If, prior to pressing Go Forward, the Illustrate Stories option of the Prepare menu was ON, then, upon pressing Go Forward, it becomes possible to open the Stories window.

If, prior to pressing Go Forward, a Node Probs. file (or a Bi-node Probs. file, or a Stories file) is designated by means of the TEXT Files Used During Run... window, then, upon pressing Go Forward, the Node Probs. file (or Bi-node Probs. file, or Stories file) is filled with data for the e-case or e-cases that the computer analyzes.

You can remind yourself of what e-case a given Node Probs. or Bi-node Probs. or Stories window belongs to by looking at the top of Main Window's pane. Quantum Fog displays there the name of the current e-case.
