In accordance with a particular embodiment of the invention, a method for explaining a recommendation produced by a decision support tool is disclosed. The method comprises submitting a list of observation inputs to the decision support tool and producing a recommendation. The list of inputs is then reordered according to an observation metric. The method further comprises quantifying how each input impacts the probability of the recommendation produced. The inputs may then be ranked by comparing the associated changes in probability of the recommendation produced.
