Good examples to follow include the strong disease prediction by an objective and easily interpreted tool, the electronic resistance-type moisture meter (Williamson et al. 1997), and the well-designed and extremely effective remediation study by Kercsmar et al. (2006).
The components of the Delaware FEE Tool include a knowledge base containing sets of rules developed through expert interviews, an answer base of numerical inputs to these rules, an inference engine that uses fuzzy logic to evaluate the rules with answer base or user-provided data, and a user interface where the user can work with input data and interpret the tool's results.
This makes the RICC a pure measure of clustering and an easy to interpret screening tool.
"It has proved to be the best interpreting tool that we have used to date," says Lieutenant Scott Rae of the Coast Guard.
The modular framework, developed to estimate the risk of ASFV entry into the EU, is available in a public domain, and is a transparent, easy-to-interpret tool that can be updated and adapted if required.
The framework, available in a public domain, integrates the five risk assessment modules and offers a transparent, easy-to-interpret tool that can be easily updated as data become available and can also be adapted to other regions of interest.
Once this information has been identified and interpreted, the tool performs elementary checks on the characterisation data (spectra, analytical) where molecular structures are reported, and attempts to ensure that the data does not conflict with the structure.
None of the practitioners reported having problems interpreting the tool's outputs.
While we have restricted ourselves to interpreting the tool's results at hospital level, they can be interpreted at the individual level; further work will examine the link between hypothesized determinants of motivation and the outcomes reported here.
