I would like to describe a hypothesis, formally. So I have defined $p = {t_1,t_2,t_3, \cdots, t_n}$
and I would like to say
"A pattern $p_i$ is more important than $p_j$, if $t \in p_i$ is more important than $t \in p_j$", I know that it is a bit vague to describe in this manner, so what will be a better option, the ideas I have in mind.
- To define an importance function or weight function saying $f(p) \propto f(t) $
- To describe purely in words.
I kind of want to avoid 2nd option as I want to find a way and learn how to formally define relationship between variables.
Thank you.
