✦ Synopsis

The problem considered here concerns the situation in which we are interested in the degree to which a set of elements called the diagnosis set explains another set called the evidence set. A measure is suggested to calculate the degree of explanatory power the diagnosis set has for the evidence set. We also concern ourselves with the problem of minimizing the diagnosis set.
