It performs inference with the Most Probable Explanation for each case described in the specified database or associated Evidence Scenario File, and selects the most probable state of each target variable. The target variables are nodes declared as Not Observable (see Costs), target, or hidden.

The results are stored in an exploitation file that takes the selected fields of the input file and creates two new fields: one for the predicted value and another for its corresponding probability.

If the data source is an external database, the fields of the input file that are included in the exploitation file are selected via the wizard illustrated below:

If the data source is the associated database, a dialog allows the user to choose which part of the database (all, learning, or test) the operation is performed on and which nodes will be saved in the destination file. It is also possible to choose whether the states’ long names are used and whether the continuous values are saved:
