Theoretical Separation

The general identification equation

$S_j = \frac{1-{V^{-j}}}{1-V^{-C}}$ , where:^[1]

S_j is the theoretical separatory value per jth characteristic,
C is the number of characteristics in the group,
V is the highest value of logic in the group and
j is the jth characteristic index in the target set, where:

j = 0..K and where:

K is the number of characteristics in the target set.

Minimal number of characteristics to result in theoretical separation

$t_{min} = \frac{\log G}{\log V}$ , where:^[2]

t_min is the minimal number of characteristics to result in theoretical separation,
G is the number of elements in the bounded class and
V is the highest value of logic in the group.
