Product Description

Abductive Inference Models for Diagnostic Problem-Solving This book is about reasoning with causal associations during diagnostic problem-solving. It formalizes several currently vague notions of abductive inference in the context of diagnosis. The result is a mathematical model of diagnostic reasoning called parsimonious covering theory. Within this diagnostic, problems and important relevant concepts are formally defined, properties of diagnostic problem-solving are identified and analyzed, and algorithms for finding plausible explanations in different situations are given along with proofs of their correctness. Another feature of this book is the integration of parsimonious covering theory and probability theory...
