Figure 3

Illustration of the pertinence rules. Rule 2 allows the selection of smaller sets containing the same elements in common (fewer differing elements): for T1 and T4, Rule 2 does not hold because there exists smaller sets (T2 and T5) containing the same elements in common. Rule 3 allows the selection of bigger sets containing the same differing elements: for T3 and T6, Rule 3 does not hold because there exists bigger sets (T2 and T5) containing the same differing elements. T2 and T5 are pertinent.
