As indicated on the system output, it is important to provide users with an
“explanation facility” for this system and to indicate the confidence level of the
outputs. The hybrid nature and the complexity of the system make traditional expla-
nation facilities impossible. However, recently developed techniques using evolu-
tionary computation descr ibed in this book can be used to develop such a facility.
This facility is also very important in that it would be usable as a prediction system
to identify and predict new (previously unseen) combinations of parameters and
events that might be expected to be indicators of interest.
