Of Blickets, Butterflies, and Baby Dinosaurs: Children’s Diagnostic Reasoning Across Domains
The three studies presented here examine children’s ability to make diagnostic inferences about an interactive causal structure across different domains.

Natural frequencies facilitate diagnostic inferences of managers [PDF]
In Bayesian inference tasks, information about base rates as well as hit rate and false-alarm rate needs to be integrated according to Bayes' rule after the result of a diagnostic test became known. Numerous studies have found that presenting information in a Bayesian inference task in terms of natural frequencies leads to better performance compared ...

Determinants of diagnostic and pseudodiagnostic information selection
Pseudodiagnosticity refers to the tendency to select impoverished information in preference to equally available diagnostic data. Mynatt, Doherty, and Dragan (1993) reported that pseudodiagnostic reasoning was attenuated in problems in which the ...

Nonparametric predictive inference for diagnostic test thresholds [PDF]
Measuring the accuracy of diagnostic tests is crucial in many application areas including medicine, machine learning and credit scoring. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and surface are useful tools to assess the ability of diagnostic tests to discriminate between ordered classes or groups.

Using natural frequencies to improve diagnostic inferences [PDF]
To test whether physician's diagnostic inferences can be improved by communicating information using natural frequencies instead of probabilities. Whereas probabilities and relative frequencies are normalized with respect to disease base rates, natural frequencies are not normalized.The authors asked 48 physicians in Munich and Düsseldorf to determine ...

Inference diagnostic state of the technical object in logic k-valuable [PDF]
The article presents the problem of describing the theoretical basis for inference (decision-making) in the multi-valued logic. A significant part of the article concerns the descrip-tion of the basis for the development of the logic k-value, where k = 2,

Inferences of clinical diagnostic reasoning and diagnostic error
This paper discusses clinical diagnostic reasoning in terms of a pattern of If/then/Therefore reasoning driven by data gathering and the inference of abduction, as defined in the present paper, and the inferences of retroduction, deduction, and induction as defined by philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce.

Improving the accuracy of medical diagnosis with causal machine learning
In medical diagnosis a doctor aims to explain a patient’s symptoms by determining the diseases causing them, while existing diagnostic algorithms are purely associative.

Neuro-fuzzy knowledge processing in intelligent learning environments for improved student diagnosis [PDF]
In this paper, a neural network implementation for a fuzzy logic-based model of the diagnostic process is proposed as a means to achieve accurate student diagnosis and updates of the student model in Intelligent Learning Environments.
