What do the default values (the variable values already chosen by BRAINS) mean?
Each default value represents either the most common occurrence for variables that allow you to choose an option, (e.g., boat type); or the average value for variables that allow you to insert a number (e.g., wind speed, boat length) for that specific variable independent of any other variable values. For example, assume that in your accident model the default boat type is Personal Watercraft (PWC), and the default boat length is 30 feet. This means that PWC is the most common type of boat involved in this type of accident and that the average length of all boats involved in this type of accident is 30 feet. Importantly, the default values here do not mean that the average or most common boat involved in this accident type is a 30-foot PWC.
