... nodes completed with titles and level descriptions identical to column headers and row information in the MS Excel file. All parent nodes should be set to discrete, that is, using distinct levels, whereas coral cover is a continuous variable (see Figure B.2)

... Third, the data file is imported into Netica via a learning algorithm. This process is built into Netica and can be run by importing the data file via the Cases tab in the menu line, then Learn, then Incorporate Case File (see Figure B.3)
