Abstract

The medical diagnosis is a multi-step complicatd decision making process to take into consideration all personal medical data. The role of Quality Engineering is to give a measure of distance of each person to be diagnosed from the ideal conditions. The purpose of this paper is to propose touse the Mahalanobis Distance as a generalysed variance where we have a set of multi-vaiate physical measurements. The core of this paper is to use Mahalanobis Space obtained from the data of healthy normal people.

How to define and calculate the Mahalanobis Distance is explained in this paper with a case study given by Dr.Tatsuji Kanetaka.
