Function analyze_differential 

Source
pub fn analyze_differential(
    observed: &[String],
    kb: &DiagnosticKnowledgeBase,
) -> Result<DifferentialProposal, MedicalError>
Expand description

Compute the normalized posterior differential over kb given the present observed findings.

observed is the list of finding ids observed to be present; the posterior is proportional to prior · Π P(finding | condition) over those findings.

Fails closed (MedicalError) on an empty KB, a non-finite/non-positive prior, a likelihood outside [0,1], or when every condition’s unnormalized posterior is zero (findings incompatible with the whole KB) — never returns a fabricated result.
