A preliminary attempt to rules generation for mental disorders

Our research concerns psychometric data coming from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) test. MMPI is used to count the personality-psychometric dimensions which help in diagnosis of mental diseases. In this paper, we test different algorithms for rule generation from data coming from the MMPI-WISKAD test. Especially, for each algorithm, we take into consideration a number of generated rules and their ability for classification of new cases. Results are important for selection of suitable algorithms that will create a base for a computer tool supporting diagnosis of mental diseases.
