A FORTIORI ANALYSIS
A fortiori analysis is a method of
treating uncertainty that stacks the cards against one
ALTERNATIVE (often the one intuitively preferred) by resolving
questions of uncertainty in favor of another alternative. If the
initially preferred alternative is still preferable, one has a
stronger case in its favor. See also: SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
CONTINGENCY ANALYSIS. (IIASA)
