31		-4.1 An Assessment Algorithm
	31	+4.1 An Assessment Algorithm allows you to look at the results of various assessments to make predictions about clients.
32	32
	33	+4.2 A Classification Algorithm is intended more for notification purposes and uses data to alert users as to certain client information.

	38	+5. If you choose to employ an Assessment Algorithm, a larger box will appear for more data entry.

	40	+5.1 Instrument: you will be asked to select what instrument you want your algorithm to be run on
38	38
	42	+5.2 Processor Strategy: you can choose between a "Standard Assessment Algorithm Processor" or a "Logical Assessment Algorithm Processor"

	51	+6. In the Classification Algorithm option, you will be taken to this main screen for data entry and choice options.
	52	+
	53	+6.1 Note the name and description appear toward the top of the screen
	54	+
	55	+6.2 In the Configurations tab, you have several options, called factors (which are further elaborated below in step 7)
	56	+
	57	+6.3 The Score Aggregation Formula asks whether you want to give weight to the different factors or whether you merely want to note their presence
	58	+
	59	+
	60	+* To give weight to the factors, you must click on the down arrow and select the option for "Strength of Classification"
	61	+* To only note the presence of the factors, you can keep the default option of "Exists in Classification"
	62	+

	65	+7. Next, we will deal with choosing and assigning factors for consideration in your algorithm
42	42
	67	+7.1 Each factor represents a different domain or its item of interest whose scores may prove relevant to your algorithm
43	43
	69	+7.2 To add a factor, simply click on the factor/domain (which should open a list of its items) and select which items are of import to you. Then, click on the add factor button represented by the green plus icon
	70	+
	71	+7.3 The new factor(s) should now be displayed on the right pane.
	72	+
	73	+7.4 To remove a factor, simply select it on the right side and click on the Remove Factor button represented by the red minus icon
	74	+
	75	+7.5 NOTE: the factors will all show up on the right side with a score of 1. To change the score of interest to better represent what you are looking for, you can double click on the numeral and enter your own score which would then be classified as the risk level you designate it as.

	80	+8. We now turn to the "Score Classification" tab
47	47
	82	+8.1 This tab allows you to give ranges for classification. This means that you can set the upper and lower bounds for various levels of risk, severity, etc. that you can define yourself
48	48
	84	+8.2 To change the bounds or the name of the classification, simply double click on the generic entries already in the box and you should be able to re-name or re-number the fields

52	52
	91	+9. You have several options in the Configurations tab
	92	+
	93	+9.1 Like the Classification Algorithm, you can select certain factors (in this case, the various domains and items relating to the assessment you previously chose as the instrument) to add or remove as part of your algorithm's consideration
	94	+
	95	+9.2 Again, like the Classification Algorithm, you can give different weights to the different items, which will impact your overall evaluation
	96	+
	97	+9.3 A new option in the Assessment Algorithm is the ability to choose your own score aggregation formula, meaning you can decide how you want the data to be considered
	98	+
	99	+
	100	+* Sum: simply adds all the factors and their weights
	101	+* Mean: takes the arithmetic average of the scores
