Popis: This paper outlines an approach for validating the expert system's performance by comparing the expert system to the consensus results of the experts (i.e., using several experts to solve the same problem that the authentic reasoning expert system solved). We also discuss a mathematical process that includes the use of rough set theory as a means of capturing and quantifying the reasoning factors and reasoning processes of the experts. Additionally, a generalized entropy criterion for measuring consensus effectiveness based on Dempster–Shafer's theory of mathematical evidence is used in conjunction with rough set and fuzzy set theories. This is used for ascertaining whether or not the behavior of the expert system is evident in the behavior of the experts which is an essential task in validating authentic reasoning expert systems.
