title: Analysis of information in indicant-patterns.
abstract: Different patterns of information may lead to identical diagnostic conclusions, but it remains uncertain whether such patterns will have the same validity towards other criteria, e.g. choice of treatment. A procedure for selection of optimal patterns of data and analysis of their validity towards different criteria is described. It is founded on Bayes' methodology and characterized by a continuous correction for redundancy between indicants. Permissible patterns/syndromes are formulated and evaluated in a consistent way.
