For the mathematically inclined.
If there is a dx category (BPD) with 9 symptoms...
And you need to have 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 or 9 of those symptoms to meet criteria for the dx...
Then how many different ways are there to meet the criteria for the dx?You could have...
1+2+3+4+5
or
1+2+3+4+5+6
or
2+3+4+5+6
or
1+3+5+7+9I'm sure you get the general idea.
But...
There must be a systematic way...(Someone computed 54 ways but I don't know how and I don't know whether that is true)
