A system and method include comparing a context to cases stored in a case base, where the cases include Boolean and non-Boolean independent weight variables and a domain-specific dependency variable. The case and context independent weight variables are normalized and a normalized weight vector is determined for the case base. A match between the received context and each case of the case base is determined using the normalized context and case variables and the normalized weight vector. A skew value is determined for each category of domain specific dependency variables and the category of domain specific dependency variables having the minimal skew value is selected. The dependency variable associated with the selected category is then displayed to a user.
