作者:

Highlights:

• A method for developing Bayesian networks based on both data and knowledge.

• The method targets complex questionnaire and interviewing medical data.

• The objective is to provide real-world decision support and risk management.

• The method is based on two original and validated applications in forensic psychiatry.

• Both applications provide improvements in predictive accuracy and decision support.
