Abstract
Conventional Knowledge-Based Systems (KBS) have no way of detecting or signalling when their knowledge is insufficient to handle a case. Consequently, these systems may produce an uninformed conclusion when presented with a case beyond their current knowledge (brittleness) which results in the KBS giving incorrect conclusions due to insufficient knowledge or ignorance on a specific case. Prudence Analysis (PA) has been shown to be a viable alternative to brittleness in Ripple Down Rules (RDR) knowledge bases. To date, there have been two approaches to Prudence; attribute-based and structural-based prudence. This paper introduces Integrated Prudence Analysis (IPA), a novel Prudence method formed by combining these methods.
