چکیده
Fisher linear discriminant analysis (FLDA) $nds a set of optimal discriminating vectors by maximizing Fisher criterion, i.e., the ratio of the between scatter to the within scatter. One of its major disadvantages is that the number of its discriminating vectors capable to be found is bounded from above by C-1 for C-class problem. In this paper for binary-class problem, we propose alternative FLDA to breakthrough this limitation by only replacing the original between scatter with a new scatter measure. The experimental results show that our approach give impressive recognition performances compared to both the Fisher approach and linear SVM. ? 2003 Pattern Recognition Society.

Implementing a new method for discriminant analysis when group covariance matrices are nearly singular
We consider a uni ed description of classi cation rules for nearly singular covariance matrices. When the covariance matrices of the groups or the pooled covariance matrix become nearly singular, bayesian classi cation rules become seriously unstable. Several procedures have been proposed to tackle this problem, e.g. SIMCA, and Regularized Discriminant Analysis. N s and Indahl (1998) discovered...
متن کاملOn Optimal Pairwise Linear Classi ers for Normal Distributions: The Two-Dimensional Case
Computing linear classi ers is a very important problem in statistical Pattern Recognition (PR). These classi ers have been investigated by the PR community extensively since they are the ones which are both easy to implement and comprehend. It is well known that when dealing with normally distributed classes, the optimal discriminant function for two-classes is linear only when the covariance ...
متن کاملA linear constrained distance-based discriminant analysis for hyperspectral image classification
Fisher's linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is a widely used technique for pattern classi"cation problems. It employs Fisher's ratio, ratio of between-class scatter matrix to within-class scatter matrix to derive a set of feature vectors by which high-dimensional data can be projected onto a low-dimensional feature space in the sense of maximizing class separability. This paper presents a linea...
متن کاملComparison of Neural and Statistical Classiiers| Theory and Practice
Pattern classi cation using neural networks and statistical methods is discussed. We rst give a tutorial overview that groups popular classi ers according to their underlying mathematical principles into several distinct categories. Starting from the Bayes classi er, one division is whether the classi er is explicitly estimating class conditional densities, or directly estimating the posterior ...
متن کاملStability Evaluation of a Classi er for Detecting Abdominal Tumors in FDG-PET/CT Images
The purpose of our study was to develop a completely automated method for detecting abdominal tumors in given FDG-PET/CT images. The purpose of this article is to report on a classi er that distinguishes malignant tumors from false positives. For constructing the classi er, we employed the kernel Fisher discriminant analysis (KFDA), and experimentally evaluated the relationship between the dime...
