Structural analysis-based diagnosis allows for the extraction of a wealth of information and properties by studying a structural model that represents a physical system. This diagnosis approach is centered on structurally overdetermined sets, which enable the generation of residuals for fault detection and isolation. As the 'for Dummies' editorial collection, this article aims at taking on complex concepts and making them easy to understand. It aims to clarify and compare key concepts in structural analysis, focusing on Minimally Structurally Overdetermined (MSO) sets and Minimal Test Equation Supports (MTES). Additionally, we explain and illustrate the Dulmage-Mendelsohn decomposition, which helps identify structurally overdetermined parts of the system and plays a important role in the structural analysis process. Through detailed exploration and practical examples, we demonstrate the roles, applications, and interrelations of these sets, highlighting their respective strengths and limitations. The paper provides an overview of the algorithms used to identify and use these sets, including a theoretical and practical comparison of their computational efficiency and diagnostic capabilities.
