SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Convert qualitative ME/CFS pathophysiology prose into rigorous, evidence-linked formal models (causal DAGs, EPC event chains, and ODE-ready quantitative models) with explicit uncertainty quantification so researchers and clinicians can evaluate, compare, and derive testable predictions without manual synthesis.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Evidence extraction & inventory: harvest causal claims, citations, sample sizes, effect sizes, and assign overall certainty scores for each claim.
  • Causal DAG construction: generate weighted DAGs with feedback-loop detection, contradiction reports, and TikZ/LaTeX figures for manuscript inclusion.
  • EPC & ODE readiness: build EPC event chains with detection criteria and timings, and prepare ODE parameter files when quantitative data permit.
  • Validation & integration: run consistency and sensitivity checks, produce validation reports, and integrate models and annotated prose into the main document.
  • Use case: formalize the PEM cascade from Part 2 into a DAG + EPC at level 2 to produce diagrams, evidence YAML, and a narrative summary for chapter integration.

Quick Start

Run the formalization-pipeline for "PEM cascade" at level 2 to produce an evidence inventory, a weighted causal DAG, and EPC summaries ready for document integration.

Frequently Asked Questions about formalization-pipeline

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert qualitative disease descriptions into causal DAGs?

To convert qualitative disease descriptions into causal DAGs, this pipeline extracts causal claims, citations, and effect sizes from prose, then generates weighted DAGs with feedback-loop detection and TikZ/LaTeX figures. It also produces evidence inventories and validation reports with quantified uncertainty.

What is the best way to formalize ME/CFS pathophysiology prose for manuscript integration?

The best way to formalize ME/CFS pathophysiology prose is using a pipeline that transforms text into evidence-linked formal models. It produces DAGs, EPC event chains, and ODE-ready parameter artifacts with weighted certainty scores for direct manuscript integration.

Can I generate ODE-ready parameter files from literature reviews?

Yes, you can generate ODE-ready parameter files from literature reviews. The pipeline prepares ODE parameter files when quantitative data permit, alongside EPC event chains with detection criteria and timings, yielding YAML model files ready for quantitative modeling.

How does uncertainty quantification work for causal claims extracted from biomedical text?

Uncertainty quantification for extracted causal claims works by harvesting sample sizes and effect sizes from text, then assigning weighted certainty scores to each claim. The pipeline runs consistency and sensitivity checks to produce validation reports with quantified uncertainty.

Does the formalization pipeline support single-process formalizations or only full disease reviews?

The formalization pipeline supports both full disease reviews and single-process formalizations. It applies to subsystem analyses as well, producing evidence inventories, diagrams, and narrative summaries at the specified formalization level for document integration.

What are the limitations of automated EPC event chain construction from pathophysiology descriptions?

Automated EPC event chain construction depends on the availability of quantitative data in the source text to prepare ODE parameter files. While it generates event chains with detection criteria and timings, the certainty of causal claims is constrained by the extracted citations and sample sizes.
