β¦ Synopsis
A new method of solving the problem of medical tests selection is proposed. This method is based on the notion of linear nonseparability of data. A measure of linear nonseparability is computed by minimization of the perceptron criterion function. A multistage strategy of search of the minimum sufficient tests subset is described. This strategy is reliable in the sense that it allows us to find the least (globally) sufficient number of tests. The considerations are illustrated on a liver diseases data example.

A new scheme of test data compression/decompression, namely coding of even bits marking and selective output inversion, is presented. It first uses a special kind of codewords, odd bits of which are used to represent the length of runs and even bits of which are used to represent whether the codewor
