Abstract


In this paper we describe deductively the algorithm of ”Using Markers to Aid Decision Making in Diagnostics”. The algorithm is based on the application of the special simultaneous tests. The basic algorithmic construction of used tests has already been described in this journal. It is ”Test of the Hypothesis That One Group of Dependences is Consistent with Another Group of Dependences” for a case when the error disturbances of the data have normal distribution. Further, the algorithm is based on already executed applications of the appropriate ”Identification of Markers by Simultaneous Tests in a Set of Quantifying Dependences”, also published in this journal. The proposed algorithm allows statistical decision making about e.g., suspicion of disease in a patient with the help of the appropriate mass spectra database analysis. The proposed algorithm is applicable generally to arbitrary problems from other human activity branch formally of type ”Using Markers to Aid Decision Making in Diagnostics”.

Keywords

Disclaimer/Regarding indexing issue:

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
