Abstract
In this article a dispersed decision-making system, that was proposed in the previous paper of one of the authors, is used. In the system four selected fusion methods were used. The aim of the paper is to compare the efficiency of inference of these methods for knowledge base from the medical field. Two medical data sets from the UC Irvine Machine Learning Repository were used. Note that these databases were used in a dispersed form, which means that one knowledge base was transformed into a set of knowledge bases. This application was intended to reflect a situation in which many medical centers independently collect knowledge from one field and then we want to use all of this knowledge at the same time in the process of inference.
