Abstract
The process of diagnosing complex systems requires determining the tests available, how to perform the tests, the appropriate ordering for sequencing tests, and the conclusions to be drawn from the test outcomes. In many diagnostic systems, test outcomes are assumed to be 100% certain, and diagnosis proceeds through partitioning of the answer set into feasible and infeasible conclusions (as described in detail in Chapter 7). Frequently, this approach does not adequately solve the diagnostic problem because of uncertainty in the testing process.
