13.1.2 Usage Guidelines

Use of the Resource Component Analysis application is easy
and the operation is straightforward. You can normally
execute a complete analysis with a single panel and a few key
strokes. Once the analysis has completed, you can examine the
output report produced, quickly identify those independent
elements that have minimal effect on the dependent element
values, remove those elements, and reexecute the analysis
query again. This process can be executed as often as
necessary until the best set of independent elements remains.
Once an optimum set of independent elements has been
determined, they can be used in future studies.
