Comparative assessment of rule-based and Bayes' theorem as inference engines in diagnosing symptoms for Islamic medication expert system

An expert system for diagnosing sickness and suggesting treatment based on Islamic Medication (IM) was constructed using Rule Based (RB) and Bayes' theorem (BT) algorithms independently as its inference engine. Comparative assessment on the quality of diagnosing based on symptoms provided by us...
