The authors have developed the Expert-based Cooperative Analysystematic, a systematic procedure to incorporate expert knowledge into data analysis.
ISM can be used to incorporate expert knowledge in a systematic manner and helps to impose order and direction on complex relationships that exist among system elements.
Based on the model selection of non-constraint models, shape constraint additive models (scam) were fit to incorporate expert knowledge and intrinsic relationships by enforcing certain effect patterns like monotonicity.
The integrated system has the advantages of both neural networks (i.e., learning, adapting and optimization) and fuzzy systems such as human-like "if then" rule reasoning, and the readiness to incorporate expert knowledge.
Several researchers have suggested that PLS models can be robustified against changes in the interferent structure by incorporating expert knowledge in the preprocessing step with the aim to efficiently filter out the spectral influence of the spectral interferents.
In order to incorporate expert knowledge about the treatment of this disease, the design methodology is carried out using Mamdani type fuzzy logic controllers to regulate the blood glucose level (BGL).
The model was designed to investigate the susceptibility of specific areas of a landscape to erosion by incorporating expert knowledge, in the sense that information on soil properties and/or landscape elements assumed to control accelerated soil erosion could be incorporated into the modelling process.
HEC-EFM has many strengths, most notably it 1) is capable of testing change for many ecological relationships and management scenarios, 2) links ecology with established hydrologic, hydraulic, and GIS tools, and 3) can be applied quickly, inexpensively, and can incorporate expert knowledge.
EbCA-DEA and ClBR show the feasibility of using EbCA to incorporate expert knowledge into other data analysis techniques.
We discuss some of their weak points that proved to be relevant in our context, and we indicate possible ways of overcoming them by incorporating expert knowledge.
