Mixtures of Experts Estimate a Posteriori Probabilities Mixtures of Experts Estimate a Posteriori Probabilities
The mixtures of experts (ME) model ooers a modular structure suitable for a divide-and-conquer approach to pattern recognition. It has a probabilistic interpretation in terms of a mixture model, which forms the basis for the error function associated with MEs. In this paper, it is shown that for classiication problems the minimization of this ME error function leads to ME outputs estimating the...

متن کاملEstimating A - Posteriori Probabilities using Stochastic Network Models
In this paper we present a systematic approach to constructing neural network classi ers based on stochastic model theory. A two step process is described where the rst problem is to model the stochastic relationship between sample patterns and their classes using a stochastic neural network. Then we convert the stochastic network to a deterministic one, which calculates the a-posteriori probab...
متن کاملNeural Network Classifiers Estimate Bayesian a posteriori Probabilities
Many neural network classifiers provide outputs which estimate Bayesian a posteriori probabilities. When the estimation is accurate, network outputs can be treated as probabilities and sum to one. Simple proofs show that Bayesian probabilities are estimated when desired network outputs are 2 of M (one output unity, all others zero) and a squarederror or cross-entropy cost function is used. Resu...
متن کاملCost functions to estimate a posteriori probabilities in multiclass problems
The problem of designing cost functions to estimate a posteriori probabilities in multiclass problems is addressed in this paper. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions that these costs must satisfy in one-class one-output networks whose outputs are consistent with probability laws. We focus our attention on a particular subset of the corresponding cost functions; those which verify t...
