From the 1986 first edition of
André Jute’s book:
Quote:
...I was soon driven to include computer-generated probability studies of what the other characters were doing.
. . .
If you know how a certain individual behaved under known historical circumstances, you can feed this information to a computer with information on how people in general or others in his profession react to various stimuli and you can then have the computer tell you how the chosen individual will behave in different-but-related hypothetical circumstances or probably did behave in known-but-unobserved circumstances. The computer’s answers are normally, in the versions used by commercial and national security organizations, in the form of a number of possible responses graded by their statistical probability.

Sixteen years have passed since that was written. There must be a Java-based version of character probability studies
somewhere on the net, but I haven’t been able to find one. Anybody here know of a URL?
