Abstract :
A neural learning methodology is presented that is capable of providing rules from learned weights. An application of this methodology to systematic lupus erythematosus is demonstrated. It is shown that the proposed approach can disregard irrelevant features in the data and can generate different criteria combinations indicating the presence of systemic lupus erythematosus in a patient
