Table 3. Conditional probability table for the outcome node “SM species category” shown in the overall decision model in Fig. 1. See text for explanation of evaluation categories and SM species outcome categories. LSOG = late-successional and old-growth forest. Shown here is only a portion of the very long table. Input nodes Outcome node Evaluation Category 1 – Geographic range Evaluation Category 2 – LSOG association Evaluation Category 3 – Plan provides for persistence Evaluation Category 4 – Data sufficiency Evaluation Category 5 – Practicality of surveys Evaluation Category 6 – Species rarity SM species category in yes yes sufficient practical rare off in yes yes insufficient practical rare off out yes yes sufficient practical rare off out yes yes insufficient practical rare off in yes no sufficient practical rare A in yes no insufficient practical rare E out yes no sufficient practical rare off : : : : : : :
