Model-Based Design (MBD) Is A Mathematical and Visual Method of Addressing Problems
Advantages
Some of the advantages Model-based design offers in comparison to the traditional
approach are:[9]
Case-based reasoning (CBR), broadly construed, is the process of solving new problems
based on the solutions of similar past problems. An auto mechanic who fixes an engine by
recalling another car that exhibited similar symptoms is using case-based reasoning.
A lawyer who advocates a particular outcome in a trial based on legal precedents or a
judge who creates case law is using case-based reasoning. So, too, an engineer copying
working elements of nature (practicing biomimicry), is treating nature as a database of
solutions to problems. Case-based reasoning is a prominent type of analogy solution
making.
Advantages
Case-based reasoning has been formalized for purposes of computer reasoning
At first glance, CBR may seem similar to the rule induction algorithms [2] of machine
learning . Like a rule-induction algorithm, CBR starts with a set of cases or training
examples; it forms generalizations of these examples, albeit implicit ones, by identifying
commonalities between a retrieved case and the target problem
Critics of CBR argue that it is an approach that accepts anecdotal evidence as its main
operating principle. Without statistically relevant data for backing and implicit
generalization, there is no guarantee that the generalization is correct. However,
all inductive reasoning where data is too scarce for statistical relevance is inherently based
on anecdotal evidence . There is recent work that develops CBR within a statistical
framework and formalizes case-based inference as a specific type of probabilistic
inference; thus, it becomes possible to produce case-based predictions equipped with a
certain level of confidence
