Abstract
Medical data are often voluminous, incomplete, and nonnumeric, making analysis with traditional statistical techniques difficult at best. A generic medical data-analysis system called FRID (finding rules in data), which can handle this type of data, is proposed. Incorporating partitioning heuristics, FRID can be used to initiate broad-based exploratory analysis. The system's flexible design also allows a specific search for the probability of a disease given a single symptom. Results from experiments using this system are presented, as well as plans for its future use.<>
医疗数据通常是大量的、不完整的和非数字的,这使得用传统的统计技术进行分析变得困难。提出了一种能够处理这类数据的通用医疗数据分析系统,称为FRID (finding rules in data)。结合划分启发式,FRID可用于发起广泛的探索性分析。该系统灵活的设计还允许对给定单一症状的疾病概率进行特定搜索。本文给出了该系统的实验结果,并对其未来的应用进行了展望。
