In addition, we describe how we can use the comprehensive decision model to construct a simpler decision model for a specific patient. In so doing, we transform the task of problem formulation to that of narrowing of a larger problem.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/problem-formulation-reduction-decision-model/}, pages = {8}, edition = {Proceedings of the Sixth Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (UAI1990)}, number = {UAI-P-1990-PG-82-89}, note = {SRC Technical Note 1998-004 (March 1998).
