Abstract

The Copernicus system is a tool for computer-aided diagnosis of mental disorders based on personality inventories. Knowledge representation in the form of rules is the closest method to human activity and reasoning, among others, in making a medical diagnosis. Therefore, in the Copernicus system, rule-based classification of patients screened with the MMPI test is one of the most important parts of the tool. The main goal of the chapter is to give more precise view of this part of the developed tool.
