Use of a Bayesian Network Model as a Decision-Support Tool For Assessing Risk of Nonnative Aquatic Species as Invasive and Injurious Species

This model is a risk analysis model for assessing potential invasiveness and injuriousness of aquatic species.  The model uses Bayesian networking to assess the probability by which known or projected characteristics of individual species would contribute to their becoming potentially injurious.
