چکیده
We propose alternative discriminant measures for selecting the best basis among a large collection of orthonormal bases for classification purposes. A generalization of the Local Discriminant Basis Algorithm of Saito and Coifman is constructed. The success of these new methods is evaluated and compared to earlier methods in experiments.

متن کاملDiscriminant feature extraction using empirical probability density estimation and a local basis library
The authors previously developed the so-called local discriminant basis (LDB) method for signal and image classi3cation problems. The original LDB method relies on di4erences in the time–frequency energy distribution of each class: it selects the subspaces where these energy distributions are well separated by some measure such as the Kullback–Leibler divergence. Through our experience and expe...
متن کاملLocal Polynomial Regression and Its Applicationsin
Nonparametric regression estimates a conditional expectation of a response given a predictor variable without requiring parametric assumptions about this conditional expectation. There are many methods of nonparametric regression including kernel estimation, smoothing splines, regression splines, and orthogonal series. Local regression ts parametric models locally by using kernel weights. Local...
متن کاملEfficient Simulation of a Random Knockout Tournament
We consider the problem of using simulation to efficiently estimate the win probabilities for participants in a general random knockout tournament. Both of our proposed estimators, one based on the notion of “observed survivals” and the other based on conditional expectation and post-stratification, are highly effective in terms of variance reduction when compared to the raw simulation estimato...
متن کاملClassification via kernel product estimators
Multivariate kernel density estimation is often used as the basis for a nonparametric classification technique. However, the multivariate kernel classifier suffers from the curse of dimensionality, requiring inordinately large sample sizes to achieve a reasonable degree of accuracy in high dimensional settings. A variance stabilising approach to kernel classification can be motivated through an...
