CFisherLDA Class Reference

Detailed Description

Preprocessor FisherLDA attempts to model the difference between the classes of data by performing linear discriminant analysis on input feature vectors/matrices. When the init method in FisherLDA is called with proper feature matrix X(say N number of vectors and D feature dimensions) supplied via apply_to_feature_matrix or apply_to_feature_vector methods, this creates a transformation whose outputs are the reduced T-Dimensional & class-specific distribution (where T<= number of unique classes-1). The transformation matrix is essentially a DxT matrix, the columns of which correspond to the specified number of eigenvectors which maximizes the ratio of between class matrix to within class matrix.

This class provides 3 method options to compute the transformation matrix :

CLASSIC_FLDA : This method selects W in such a way that the ratio of the between-class scatter and the within class scatter is maximized. The between class matrix is : \(\sum_b = \sum_{i=1}^C{\bf{(\mu_i-\mu)(\mu_i-\mu)^T}}\) The within class matrix is : \(\sum_w = \sum_{i=1}^C{\sum_{x_k\in}^c{\bf{(\mu_i-\mu)(\mu_i-\mu)^T}}}\) This should be choosen when N>D

CANVAR_FLDA : This method performs Canonical Variates which generalises Fisher's method to projection of more than one dimension. This is equipped to handle the cases where the within class matrix are non-invertible. Can be used for both cases(D>N or D<N). See the implementation in Bayesian Reasoning and Machine Learning by David Barber , Section 16.3

AUTO_FLDA : Automagically, the appropriate method is selected based on whether D>N (chooses CANVAR_FLDA) or D<N(chooses ::CLASSIC_FLDA)
