Mahalanobis’ Distance beyond Normal Distributions
Based on the reasoning expressed by Mahalanobis in his original article, the present article extends the Mahalanobis distance beyond the set of normal distributions. Sufficient conditions for existence and uniqueness are studied, and some properties derived. Since many statistical methods use the Mahalanobis distance as e vehicle, e.g. the method of least squares and the chi-square hypothesis t...
متن کاملThe Mahalanobis Distance for Functional Data With Applications to Classification
This paper presents a general notion of Mahalanobis distance for functional data that extends the classical multivariate concept to situations where the observed data are points belonging to curves generated by a stochastic process. More precisely, a new semi-distance for functional observations that generalize the usual Mahalanobis distance for multivariate datasets is introduced. For that, th...
متن کاملClassification with Kernel Mahalanobis Distance Classifiers
Within the framework of kernel methods, linear data methods have almost completely been extended to their nonlinear counterparts. In this paper, we focus on nonlinear kernel techniques based on the Mahalanobis distance. Two approaches are distinguished here. The first one assumes an invertible covariance operator, while the second one uses a regularized covariance. We discuss conceptual and exp...

متن کاملImproving Chernoff criterion for classification by using the filled function
Linear discriminant analysis is a well-known matrix-based dimensionality reduction method. It is a supervised feature extraction method used in two-class classification problems. However, it is incapable of dealing with data in which classes have unequal covariance matrices. Taking this issue, the Chernoff distance is an appropriate criterion to measure distances between distributions. In the p...
