In this chapter, we will discuss the logic of language coupled with mathematical probability. We have seen that [[The logic of classical language|classical logic]] alone is insufficient to determine accurate diagnoses; hence, a conceptual and formal overview is given on why probability can be very useful. Providing illustrations of instances of clinical cases, we will see how the logic of probabilistic language is able to provide us a differential diagnosis in a ‘good enough’ way. | In this chapter, we will discuss the logic of language coupled with mathematical probability.
