Abstract
An expert’s knowledge of an application is concerned with general tendencies, what is likely to be the case, frequent conjunctions, rules of thumb and other forms of statistical statements. An investigator may know that a certain type of crime is common among criminals of a certain type, an insurance company may know that a person with certain characteristics is a good risk, a doctor knows that certain symptoms almost always means the person is suffering from a given disease. The conclusion in each of these cases comes from studying tendencies in a population of relevant cases and using these to infer something about an individual case.
