Executing and modifying the Mathematica notebooks

If you want to execute, modify and extend the Mathematica notebooks, note the following.

• All notebooks use version 6 of Mathematica.
• The notebooks use a stylesheet EMM Style 02.nb (included). You should place a copy in the stylesheet directory (which usually ends in ...\SystemFiles\FrontEnd\StyleSheets)
  
• Most of the notebooks make use of the standard Notation package (for defining symbols that have sub- and superscripts)
• Some of the notebooks also use two special packages (included)
  • MVN.m sets up a multivariate normal object (and methods) that is useful in analyzing multivariate normal variable structures. See the notebook MVNDemo.nb for examples.
  • Trees.m defines a decision tree object (and methods) that are useful in setting up and analyzing decision trees of the sort that arise in the sequential trade models. See the notebook TreesDemo.nb for examples.
• Earlier versions of the notebooks used a common initialization package. The current versions are self-contained.
