Bayesian Analysis of Linear Combiners

چکیده
A new theoretical framework for the analysis of linear combiners is presented in this paper. This framework extends the scope of previous analytical models, and provides some new theoretical results which improve the understanding of linear combiners operation. In particular, we show that the analytical model developed in seminal works by Tumer and Ghosh is included in this framework.

Analysis of Linear and Order Statistics Combiners for Fusion of Imbalanced Classifiers
So far few theoretical works investigated the conditions under which specific fusion rules can work well, and a unifying framework for comparing rules of different complexity is clearly beyond the state of the art. A clear theoretical comparison is lacking even if one focuses on specific classes of combiners (e.g., linear combiners). In this paper, we theoretically compare simple and weighted a...
متن کاملTheoretical Foundations of Linear and Order Statistics Combiners for Neural Pattern Classifiers
Several researchers have experimentally shown that substantial improvements can be obtained in diicult pattern recognition problems by combining or integrating the outputs of multiple classiiers. This paper provides an analytical framework to quantify the improvements in classiication results due to combining. The results apply to both linear combiners and the order statistics combiners introdu...

In this paper, we obtain Bayesian prediction intervals as well as Bayes predictive estimators under square error loss for generalized order statistics when the distribution of the underlying population belongs to a family which includes several important distributions.

متن کاملA new approach to identification of transient power quality problems using linear combiners
In this paper, we present a new approach to identify transient power quality disturbances using linear combiners and a fuzzy decision support system. The key idea underlying the approach is to obtain the amplitude and the slope of the peak fundamental component of a voltage waveform using adaptive linear combiners, along with nonlinear least mean squares (LMS) algorithm. Fuzzy logic is then use...
