What is Diagnostic or Classification Test

Encyclopedia of Information Science and Technology, Fourth Edition
Assume that we have two sets of objects’ examples called positive and negative examples, respectively. A test for a subset of positive examples is a collection of attributes’ values describing this subset of examples, i.e. it is common or general feature for all examples of this subset and, simultaneously, none of the negative examples is described by it.

Abstract
An approach to incremental classification learning is proposed. Classification learning is based on approximation of a given partitioning of objects into disjoint blocks in multivalued space of attributes. Good approximation is defined in the form of good maximally redundant classification test or good formal concept. A concept of classification context is introduced. Four situations of incremental modification of classification context are considered: adding and deleting objects and adding and deleting values of attributes. Algorithms of changing good concepts in these incremental situations are given and proven.

Assume that we have two sets of objects’ examples called positive and negative examples, respectively. A test for a subset of positive examples is a set of common attributes’ values describing this subset, i.e. it is common or general feature for all examples of this subset and, simultaneously, none of the negative examples is described by it.

Machine Learning as a Commonsense Reasoning Process
Assume that we have two sets of objects’ examples called positive and negative examples respectively. A test for a subset of positive examples is a collection of attributes’ values describing this subset of examples if it is unique, i. e. none of the negative examples is described by it.
