Interpretation and optimization of the k -means algorithm

Kristian Sabo, Rudolf Scitovski (2014)

Applications of Mathematics

The paper gives a new interpretation and a possible optimization of the well-known k -means algorithm for searching for a locally optimal partition of the set 𝒜 = { a i n : i = 1 , , m } which consists of k disjoint nonempty subsets π 1 , , π k , 1 k m . For this purpose, a new divided k -means algorithm was constructed as a limit case of the known smoothed k -means algorithm. It is shown that the algorithm constructed in this way coincides with the k -means algorithm if during the iterative procedure no data points appear in the Voronoi diagram....

Interpretation of pattern classification results, obtained from a test set

Edgard Nyssen (1998)

Kybernetika

The present paper presents and discusses a methodology for interpreting the results, obtained from the application of a pattern classifier to an independent test set. It addresses the problem of testing the random classification null hypothesis in the multiclass case, by introducing an exact probability technique. The discussion of this technique includes the presentation of an interval estimation technique for the probability of correct classification, which is slightly more accurate than the ones...

Interval estimation in two way nested unbalanced random model.

R. C. Jain, J. Singh, R. Agrawal (1991)

Trabajos de Estadística

The present paper deals with interval estimation of variance components in two way nested unbalanced random model. Employing a suitable transformation a statistic has been developed and its distribution is well approximated by chi-square. The confidence intervals for variance components and the simultaneous confidence interval for their ratios have been derived.

Interval linear regression analysis based on Minkowski difference – a bridge between traditional and interval linear regression models

Masahiro Inuiguchi, Tetsuzo Tanino (2006)

Kybernetika

In this paper, we extend the traditional linear regression methods to the (numerical input)-(interval output) data case assuming both the observation/measurement error and the indeterminacy of the input-output relationship. We propose three different models based on three different assumptions of interval output data. In each model, the errors are defined as intervals by solving the interval equation representing the relationship among the interval output, the interval function and the interval...

Intrinsic dimensionality and small sample properties of classifiers

Šarūnas Raudys (1998)

Kybernetika

Small learning-set properties of the Euclidean distance, the Parzen window, the minimum empirical error and the nonlinear single layer perceptron classifiers depend on an “intrinsic dimensionality” of the data, however the Fisher linear discriminant function is sensitive to all dimensions. There is no unique definition of the “intrinsic dimensionality”. The dimensionality of the subspace where the data points are situated is not a sufficient definition of the “intrinsic dimensionality”. An exact...

Intrinsic priors for hypothesis testing in normal regression models.

Elías Moreno, F. Javier Girón, Francisco Torres (2003)

RACSAM

Testing that some regression coefficients are equal to zero is an important problem in many applications. Homoscedasticity is not necessarily a realistic condition in this setting and, as a consequence, no frequentist test there exist. Approximate tests have been proposed. In this paper a Bayesian analysis of this problem is carried out, from a default Bayesian model choice perspective. Explicit expressions for intrinsic priors are provided, and it is shown that the corresponding Bayes factor is...
