Inferring an optimal Fisher measure

An Optimal Surveillance Measure Against

Surveillance programs on farms and in the local environment provide an essential protection against the importation and spread of exotic diseases. Combined with border quarantine measures, these programs protect both consumers and producers from major health concerns and disease incursions that can potentially destroy local agricultural production and supporting industries, as well as generate ...

an optimal similarity measure for collaborative filtering using firefly algorithm

recommender systems (rs) provide personalized recommendation according to user need by analyzing behavior of users and gathering their information. one of the algorithms used in recommender systems is user-based collaborative filtering (cf) method. the idea is that if users have similar preferences in the past, they will probably have similar preferences in the future. the important part of col...

The MDF discrimination measure: Fisher in disguise

Recently, a discrimination measure for feature extraction for two-class data, called the maximum discriminating (MDF) measure (Talukder and Casasent [Neural Networks 14 (2001) 1201-1218]), was introduced. In the present paper, it is shown that the MDF discrimination measure produces exactly the same results as the classical Fisher criterion, on the condition that the two prior probabilities are...

The Fisher Two-Period Optimal Consumption Problem

Measure-valued spline curves: an optimal transport viewpoint

The aim of this article is to introduce and address the problem to smoothly interpolate (empirical) probability measures. To this end, we lift the concept of a spline curve from the setting of points in a Euclidean space that that of probability measures, using the framework of optimal transport.
