+1+2+3. personally, any edema is bad.... Oct 16, '04. I rate it on the pitting by how many seconds it takes to return to normal after an indent. If it takes 1-3 seconds I rate it a one, 4-6 seconds a two, more a three and after that I tell them how many seconds and say beyond a three.
A heuristic technique (/hjáµ¿ËrÉªstáµ»k/; Ancient Greek: Îµá½ÏÎ¯ÏÎºÏ, find or discover), often called simply a heuristic, is any approach to problem solving, learning, or discovery that employs a practical method not guaranteed to be optimal or perfect, but sufficient for the immediate goals.
Heuristics can be mental shortcuts that ease the cognitive load of making a decision. Examples of this method include using a rule of thumb, an educated guess, an intuitive judgment, stereotyping, profiling, or common sense.More precisely, heuristics are strategies using readily accessible, though loosely applicable, information to control problem solving in human beings and machines.euristics, through greater refinement and research, have begun to be applied to other theories, or be explained by them. For example: the Cognitive-Experiential Self-Theory (CEST) also an adaptive view of heuristic processing.
