The present bibliography aims at informing and stimulating researchers when studying the multiple facets of medical diagnosis. The complexity of investigation in this domain can be judged by the fact that papers dealing with medical diagnosis do not appear in medical journals only. Clearly, medical diagnosis is no longer a strictly medical problem. Mathematical and statistical models and analyses must be created and improved before computer programs for diagnostics can be elaborated.
This paper is an analysis of the most important mathematical aspects of medical diagnosis: logical probability, rationality and decision theory, gambling models, pattern analysis, hazy and fuzzy subsets theory and, finally, the stochastic inquiry process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
