Medical diagnoses are described in DiaMed through fuzzy decision functions that are used as discrimination functions for the selection. This type of selection is compared theoretically to a generic fuzzy inference model for medical diagnosis, and is evaluated on a differential diagnosis example, using the C discrimination index of Harrell. %K fuzzy decision %K fuzzy inference systems %K diagnosis %K discrimination index %U http://www.ann.ugal.ro/eeai/archives/2008/Lucrare-2-1-SMunteanu-p5-9.pdf
