Confidence Level Settings for Synthesis 9

Aims:

* To resolve the increasing discrepancy within the homeopathic community between the quest for quality and the demand for completeness

* * Quantity:

Dozens of remedies for which no repertory information was previously available
Information on the most frequently used new remedies, including the major recent provings

Dozens of remedies for which no repertory information was previously available

* * Quality :

Although the quantity of information is substantially increased, quality increases even more:
Existing remedies are confirmed by referencing them with additional classical authors (more than 300,000 of new such additions alone)
For the first time the remedies in the Repertory will be linked directly with the precise Materia Medica text : you can jump from the Repertory to the Materia Medica and vice-versa
You can define your own quantity and quality with the Ť confidence levels ť CONFIDENCE LEVELS
For the first time, the quality of information in a Repertory is evaluated and labeled

* * You can work with Synthesis at the level of information you desire : from a Synthesis which offers the most greatest quantity to one which respects your demand for top quality

* * Confidence levels indicates the confidence one may have that this remedy is relevant and correct in the rubric* * Every remedy in Synthesis gets a certain confidence level: this is calculated on the basis of many criteria.

* * You can use Synthesis with the minimum confidence you want or need at any given time (ranges from 0 to 10)

* * Change the confidence level (respectively less or more remedies) with one click of the mouse

* * Some examples of the criteria for confidence levels :

Already present in Kent's Repertory
Confirmed by 1/2/... classical authors
Originates from a homoeopath with average/great experience

* * No need to configure anything prior to using this new tool : criteria for confidence levels are preset, but, if you wish, also user-definable, e.g. : give your personal weight to each criterion

« Confidence Level » versus « degree »

Degrees indicate the frequency with which a remedy appeared in a given symptom of provings, clinical experience, toxicology, or in a combination of these.
Two remedies may have an identically high confidence level as one may appear many times in a proving and the other but few.This latter difference is reflected in a different degree.
