Abstract:
The likelihood of a disorder can be determined using a variety of techniques. One or more exhibited symptoms may be obtained for a patient. The likelihood that each symptom will be exhibited for the disorder can be computed, and a posterior probability of the disorder given the exhibited symptoms can be computed from the likelihood of the symptoms. Based on the resulting posterior probability of the disorder, a more accurate determination can be made of whether the patient is suffering from the disorder.
