Abstract

Human body is an example of an object for which it is really impossible to build the exact behavior model. Case-Based Reasoning is a practical decision making technique used to emulate human thinking process. The article describes an approach to building intellectual systems based on Case-Based Reasoning and Data Mining techniques. A software system for physician’s decision support in diagnostics and treatment selection is used as an example. This approach is based on identifying classes within the case base. The similarity measure is introduced. This measure is especially useful when the current case is incompletely described and gets to class intersection.
