Separation Stages[]
Initial separation[]
, where:[1]
- Sj is the initial empirical separatory value for each characteristic, where,
- j = 0...C and is the index of the jth characteristic in the group and C is the number of characteristics in the group, and,
- l = 0...R and is the truth table value of the jth characteristic, where R is the truth table size, where:
- R = V0, and,
- V is the highest value of logic in the group and,
- 0 is the target set exponent for a single characteristic, and,
- R = V0, and,
- G is the number of elements in the bounded class.
Subsequent separation[]
, where:
- Sj is the initial empirical separatory value for each characteristic, where,
- l = 0...R and is the target set truth table index value, where R is the target set truth table size value, where:
- R = VK, and,
- V is the highest value of logic in the group and,
- K is the number of characteristics in the target set, and,
- R = VK, and,
- G is the number of elements in the bounded class.
