TL;DR

A case-based reasoning system can produce both a solution and an estimate of the confidence in that solution, which allows users to know when the results of the system should and should not be used.

Abstract

A case-based reasoning system can produce both a solution and an estimate of the confidence in that solution. The confidence value can be used to determine whether the solution does or does not have the needed accuracy. A statistical method can be used to compute a confidence value from information generated during the case-based reasoning process. This confidence value allows users to know when the results of the system should and should not be used.
