Abstract-Logical analysis of data is a methodology used for analyzing observations and detecting structural information which provides a solution to problems such as classification, marketing, feature selection development of pattern-based decision support systems, detection of inconsistencies in databases etc. There are a number of areas such as statistics, clustering, machine learning etc that are parallel to problems evaluated by LAD. However, it plays a significant role in the field of data classification through systematic identification of 'patterns' in the datasets There are a large number of real world data analysis applications such as economics, oil exploration, medical diagnosis etc. that can be formulated using Logical analysis of data. Although, in the recent years medical and related disciplines have been the focus of LAD and there have been a considerable number of medical problems to which LAD is successfully applied. The goal of this paper is to provide an overview and a comparative study between different works related to Logical analysis of data (LAD) in the field of data classification. It gives an insight of how Logical analysis of data (LAD) has been successfully applied to various data analysis applications particularly medical science and related disciplines. It provides a brief description of some useful work done in the past in the field of data classification to provide an accurate data classification using a small training set. It particularly gives an overview about the work done by P.L Hammer and Renato Bruni and Gianpiero Bianchi in the field of data classification. It explores about the characteristics and challenges involved with the past research work and also contributes significant variations to them to provide a fast and accurate data classification.
