An extension of the Jeffreys-Matusita distance to multiclass cases for feature selection
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problem of extending the Jeffreys-Matnsita distance to multiclass cases for feature-selection purposes is addressed and a solution equivalent to the Bhattacharyya bound is presented. This extension is compared with the widely used weighted average Jeffreys-Matusita distance both by examining the respective formulae and by experimenting on an optical remote-sensing data set.

Two Effective Feature Selection Criteria for Multispectral Remote Sensing
In an earlier study, Swain et al. reported on two statistical separability measures which for multiclass feature selection were shown experimentally to be more reliable than divergence. However, the empirical results of that study together with the best theoretical results in the literature left open some practical questions regarding the quantitative characterization of these separability meas...
متن کاملFeature Selection Methods for Object-based Classification of Sub-decimeter Resolution Digital Aerial Imagery
The availability of numerous spectral, spatial, and contextual features renders the selection of optimal features a time consuming and subjective process in object-based image analysis (OBIA). While several feature selection methods have been used in conjunction with OBIA, a robust comparison of the utility and efficiency of approaches could facilitate broader application. In this study, we tes...

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...
متن کاملIFSB-ReliefF: A New Instance and Feature Selection Algorithm Based on ReliefF
Increasing the use of Internet and some phenomena such as sensor networks has led to an unnecessary increasing the volume of information. Though it has many benefits, it causes problems such as storage space requirements and better processors, as well as data refinement to remove unnecessary data. Data reduction methods provide ways to select useful data from a large amount of duplicate, incomp...
