I'm back, I left for the weekend and don't typically have access to the internet. Lots of posts to go over for me. Yeah, I know that I don't know as much as I should and understand that people are probably angry about that, but I don't really have the access to a class for it right now. This isn't to say I'm not trying (and failing :eek:) to learn stuff on my own.

I've narrowed down what I'm looking at to 4 inputs. Three of them are T/F, and the last one is a choice of four different numbers. The output is numerical, a range between 0 and 1. What I'm trying to do is understand which interactions between the 4 inputs lowers the output the most (output starts at 1 for each iteration and can only be lowered).

Ok, I'm off to work with it some more, I'll read through the posts later tonight and be back tomorrow. Thank you to those that offered help.

Sounds like Logistical Regression is what you want. You can either google it, or look it up in a stats book.
