Computational solutions to infer behavioural outcomes. The relationships between prognostic factors and the behavioural outcome can be automatically inferred from participants with known prognostic factors and outcomes on entirely mathematical criteria [8] (a-classifier obtained from data mining). The relationships can also be theorized by an expert committee and validated on participants with known prognostic factors and outcomes [7] (b- man-made model). Our proposed system relies on asking participants about the relationshipsrather than the prognostic factors in isolation (c- Fuzzy Cognitive Map).
