Abstract

A computer interface system that includes interactive interface controls as well as aural and kinetic interface controls to assist in educating a user, in profiling a user, and in controlling and monitoring the implementation of actions involving probabilistic distributions. The system allows the user to indicate, either directly or indirectly, a confidence level that he or she desires for actions such as investments, as well as other characteristics and constraints. The user is able to manipulate the interface controls to evaluate results in terms of confidence and risk. If the user approves the results and his or her profile, in a preferred embodiment the selections are transmitted to effectuate an action.
