16.11 Markov/DES

The Markov/DES Tree Preferences allow Half Cycle Correction Method to be set for Markov Models. It also allows the default termination condition to be set for all new Markov or DES nodes.

• WCC: For Markov models, the Half Cycle Correction method can be set to either Traditional or Within-Cycle Correction. This impacts how rewards are defined in the model and more details can be found in the Markov Modeling Tools and Techniques Chapter.

• Default termination conditions: For both Markov and DES nodes, the default termination condition can be set here for all new nodes of these these types.

You can access the Tree Preferences directly for Markov (or DES) models through the Markov (or DES) Info View as indicated in the figure below.
