Integrated Fisher linear discriminants: An empirical study

作者:

Highlights:

• An optimal threshold is found out from a series of empirical threshold formulas developed for Fisher linear discriminants based on classification accuracies.

• Weight vectors and thresholds are updated by an epoch-limited iterative learning strategy.

• The singular within-class scatter matrices are reduced in dimensionality but not added with perturbations.

• A coding system enlarges class margins and approximately preserves neighborhood relationships.

• An integrated learning algorithm improves the learning and generalization performances of Fisher linear discriminants.
