This paper shows the fuzzy analogical reasoning for medical diagnosis in modeling how an expert reasons. Normally this process involves imprecision and so, medical entities are modeled using fuzzy sets. The diagnostic for a patient is obtained by a syntactic similarity or the similarity grade to a previous case. It is shown the results of an expert system implementation in rheumatology Poster D...
