obsolete_automated assertion process true An assertion process performed through algorithmic analysis by a computational agent, independent of human review. Ultimately even automated assertions require a human agent to set a confidence threshhold that determines when a computational output (e.g. a sequence similarity p-value) justifies an assesrtion being made.

For example, one common type of automatic assertion involves creating an association of evidence with an entity based on commonness of attributes of that entity and another entity for which an assertion already exists. The commonness is determined algorithmically.
