In this example, all variables are boolean
The training set consists of the following examples:
x1 x2 x3 f 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1
The learning model consists of {AND, OR, XOR, NAND, NOR, x1 /\ x3}
There error for each model is 1/3, 2/3, 2/3,2/3, 1/3, 0/3. So x1 /\ x3 is the best.
The actual target function was XOR(x2,x3).
The real error in this choice was 4/8.
The real error for the example 1 choice was 5/8.
The real error for OR is only 3/8.
