Abstract
A general purpose software package "PREDITAS" is presented, aimed at solving a wide range of pattern recognition and diagnostic problems with respect to constraints and requirements imposed by practice. The theoretical background of the feature selection technique and stepwise decision rule employed in the PREDITAS system is outlined, together with the reasons for the necessity to combine theoretically based procedures with heuristic ones at some stages of the global solution.
