1.What is fr-analytica listserv ?
The purpose of this discussion forum is to enable Analytica users to share their ideas and experiences using the Analytica software, especially as they apply to the areas of risk analysis. One of the advantages of hosting a user group in the food risk clearinghouse is that the forum can grow along with the user group's needs. Users will have an opportunity to post their work and or questions and eventually build a function or data library. While the focus is Food safety, risk analysts in other fields should not be discouraged as many problems encountered in risk analysis can cut across different subjects such as transportation, nuclear energy, environmental risks, etc.
