'Morphological Analysis (MA) makes it possible to give structure - in
the form of an ordered parameter space - to highly complex problem
areas which contain many disparate variables. It encourages the
investigation of boundary conditions and it virtually compels
practitioners to examine numbers of contrasting configurations and
policy solutions. It can also be used as a starting point for other
modeling methods such as AHP and Bayesian Network modeling.' Check out
