title: [The inductive approach in the routine laboratory diagnosis of thyroid dysfunction].
abstract: The method for defining strategy for thyroid function laboratory testing is presented in this study. In order to accomplish this task an available software, ASSISTANT Professional, was used. The strategy is generated by induction from routine data, using the method of minimizing entropy. Each of 1002 patients was described by 15 attributes and thyroid function status (euthyreosis, hyperthyreosis, hypothyreosis). Seventy per cent of the patients were chosen at random for generating and 30% for testing the strategy. The result is the decision tree or a set of decision rules. Absolute prognostic accuracy is estimated to 96% and relative to 90.16%.
