An important special case is the use of semi-supervised learning to exploit "unlabeled" data coming from individuals for which tests have been made but the true health condition is unknown. Our approach is motivated by a concrete case study in veterinary medicine, namely the diagnosis of a disease in cats called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). In addition to the use of (semi-supervised) machine learning methodology in medical diagnosis, we propose a game-theoretical approach for measuring the usefulness of individual tests as well as model-based combinations of such tests. More specifically, what can be estimated in this way is the generalization performance of a model that is trained on a combination A and data in the form of L labeled and U unlabeled examples.
