Closedness properties in ex-identification

2001

In this paper we investigate in which cases unions of identifiable classes are also necessarily identifiable. We consider identification in the limit with bounds on mindchanges and anomalies. Though not closed under the set union, these identification types still have features resembling closedness. For each of them we and n such that (1) if every union of n − 1 classes out of U1, ... , Un is identifiable, so is the union of all n classes; (2) there are classes U1, ... ,Un−1 such that every union of n−2 classes out of them is identifiable, while the union of n − 1 classes is not. We show that by finding these n we can distinguish which requirements put on the identifiability of unions of cl…
