widget for (financial) decision analysis?

[vnijs]

Related to your post on htmlwidgets (adn DiagrammeR) I was wondering if this approach could be used to create and analyze decision trees (NOT the 'random forest' type but the decision analysis type http://www.mindtools.com/dectree.html). Are you perhaps aware of any R (finance) packages that can do the EV calculations (and sensitivity analysis) for an arbitrary tree? I have been looking for something like this for a while now.

Hope you can keep to your commitment :)

@mostly-harmless Even though I personally do not use these much I think they will be a very useful application. I am in my phone and also found this as a reference, so I will link it here http://www.theresearchkitchen.com/archives/738 so I won't forget when I return to my computer.

Glad it sounds interesting. There are lots of (Excel based) tools for this type of analysis (e.g., http://www.palisade.com/precisiontree/) but I haven’t seen anything that is open source.
