Abstract

In this paper we present a new approach to data analysis based on flow distribution study in a flow network. Branches of the flow graph are interpreted as decision rules, whereas the flow graph is supposed to describe a decision algorithm. We propose to model decision processes as flow graphs and analyze decisions in terms of flow spreading in the graph.
