Learning from observation: Conceptual Clustering. ... If the sparseness is zero, then the description covers only observed events (has zero degree of generalization). As the relative sparseness of the complex increases, so does the degree to which it generalizes over the observed events. the maximum relative sparseness value of 1 is achieved when the complex covers only unobserved events. ... An advantage of sparseness as a measure of fit is its simplicity.  1, record 1, English, - sparseness
