Discriminant Function Analysis - Discrimination Rules

Discrimination Rules

  • Maximum likelihood: Assigns x to the group that maximizes population (group) density.
  • Bayes Discriminant Rule: Assigns x to the group that maximizes, where represents the prior probability of that classification, and πi represents the population density.
  • Fisher’s linear discriminant rule: Maximizes the ratio between SSbetween and SSwithin, and finds a linear combination of the predictors to predict group.

Famous quotes containing the word rules:

    Let’s start with the three fundamental Rules of Robotics.... We have: one, a robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Two, a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. And three, a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.
    Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
