Abstract

This article presents a new approach to making decisions when information, possibly incomplete, is provided by many sources. The proposed method is based on IVFS scalar cardinality (sigma f-count). First a general algorithm is introduced, and next an application in supporting medical decisions in ovarian tumor differentiation (based on multiple diagnostic models) is presented and discussed.
