Abstract

This work presents an approach to deal with uncertainty in patient’s medical record. After giving a brief characterisation of possible sources of uncertainty in medical records, the paper introduces fuzzy set based approach that allows modelling of such information. First, heterogeneous data is converted to homogeneous model with the use of Feature Set structure. With such model uncertainty may be represented directly as Fuzzy Membership Function Families (FMFFs). Some theoretical results connecting FMFFs with Hesitant Fuzzy Sets and Type-2 Fuzzy Sets are also given.
