This document provides some background information to many of the specific commands that are run during a direct methods analysis. Almost if the commands are fully integrated into the EDM GUI, and in some cases there are more commands in the GUI than are described herein. The version of the Feasible Set analysis that is packaged with EDM is somewhat better than the fs98 code which is described below. See http://www.numis.northestern.edu/edm for the latest version
