چکیده
Graphic displays of data from clinical observations and laboratory testing provide important support to the health practitioner in managing an increasing amount of complex information. A graphic display program is described that preserves much of the context of data that is important to their evaluation, and that maintains a sense of the strength of the signal when aberrant data are encountered.

The Effect of Bayesian Reasoning Training on the Results of Clinical Reasoning Tests of Interns
Introduction: Clinical reasoning includes a range of thinking about clinical medicine at all stages of patient evaluation. Bayesian theory can be used to refute or confirm differential diagnoses in the clinical reasoning process. In this way, by learning the basic mathematical language of probability in medicine, we can change our beliefs according to new evidence. The aim of this study is to i...

Natural language software tools may have an important role in making requirements spec-iications more accessible. Possible tools include text processors to support requirements elicitation, and text generators to support requirements validation. The current paper reports on our progress in developing a natural language generation system, integrating this tool with a graphical interface and an a...
متن کاملTeaching Basic Probability and Statistics Using Computer Graphics
In the physical sciences it has been long known that the most effective way to teach students is by having them "discover" the basic principles themselves. Unfortunately, probability and statistics have traditionally not been taught this way. With the advent of the persona1 computer, all that has changed. Microcomputers can do more than take the drudgery out of calculations. Their unique graphi...
متن کاملMedicine in words and numbers: a cross-sectional survey comparing probability assessment scales
BACKGROUND In the complex domain of medical decision making, reasoning under uncertainty can benefit from supporting tools. Automated decision support tools often build upon mathematical models, such as Bayesian networks. These networks require probabilities which often have to be assessed by experts in the domain of application. Probability response scales can be used to support the assessment...
