Fuzzy Decision Trees in Medical Decision Making Support System

Abstract

Decision Making Support System is used widely in medicine now because decisions play an important role in medicine, especially in medical diagnostic processes Decision Making Support Systems helping physicians are becoming a very important part in medical decision making, particularly in those situations where decision must be made effectively and reliably. Since conceptual simple decision making models with the possibility of automatic learning should be considered for performing such tasks, decision trees are a very suitable candidate. In this paper Fuzzy Decision Trees are proposed for the application in Medical Decision Making Support System. Induction of these Fuzzy Decision Trees is based on cumulative information estimates. Comparisons with different methods show it is a promising solution.
