Both classes have matching block monotone missing training data. Here, we demonstrate that for intra-class covariance structures with at least small correlation among the variables with missing data and the variables without block missing data, the maximum likelihood estimation substitution classifier outperforms the Chung and Han (2000) classifier regardless of the percent of missing observations. Specifically, we examine the differences in the estimated expected error rates for these classifiers using a Monte Carlo simulation, and we compare the two classifiers using two real data sets with monotone missing data via parametric bootstrap simulations. Our results contradict the conclusions of Chung and Han (2000) that their linear combination classifier is superior to the MLE classifier for block monotone missing multivariate normal data.展开更多

Secondly, by considering another prior form over model space in the Bayes approach, we propose a new extended Bayes information criterion family, and under some mild condition, our new EBIC (NEBIC) is shown to be consistent. Then we apply our new method to choose parameter for sequential lasso regression which selects features by sequentially solving partially penalized least squares problems where the features selected in earlier steps are not penalized in the subsequent steps. Then sequential lasso uses NEBIC as the stopping rule. Finally, we apply our algorithm to identify the nonzero entries of precision matrix for high-dimensional linear discrimination analysis. Simulation results demonstrate that our algorithm has a lower misclassification rate and less computation time than its competing methods under considerations.展开更多

The Air Quality Index (AQI), a widely adopted index by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), serves as a crucial metric for reporting site-specific air pollution levels. Accurately predicting air quality, as measured by the AQI, is essential for effective air pollution management. In this study, we aim to identify the most reliable regression model among linear discriminant analysis (LDA), quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA), logistic regression, and K-nearest neighbors (KNN). We conducted four different regression analyses using a machine learning approach to determine the model with the best performance. By employing the confusion matrix and error percentages, we selected the best-performing model, which yielded prediction error rates of 22%, 23%, 20%, and 27%, respectively, for LDA, QDA, logistic regression, and KNN models. The logistic regression model outperformed the other three statistical models in predicting AQI. Understanding these models' performance can help address an existing gap in air quality research and contribute to the integration of regression techniques in AQI studies, ultimately benefiting stakeholders like environmental regulators, healthcare professionals, urban planners, and researchers.展开更多

Feature fusion is done after normalization. For normalization of features, min-max rule is used and mean-variance method is used to find weights for normalized features. Euclidean distance between each feature vector and center of the cluster which is obtained by k-means clustering is used as similarity measure in Bayesian framework. Experiments performed on widely used CASIA B gait database show that, the fusion of these two feature sets preserve discriminant information. We report 99.90 % average recognition rate.展开更多

Wood surface images were captured, using a camera Oscar F810C IRF camera, and then the image segmentation was performed, and the defect features were extracted from wood board images. To reduce the processing time, LDA algorithm was used to integrate these features and reduce their dimensions. Features after fusion were used to construct a data dictionary and a compressed sensor was designed to recognize the wood defects types. Of the three major defect types, 50 images live knots, dead knots, and cracks were used to test the effects of this method. The average time for feature fusion and classification was 0.446 ms with the classification accuracy of 94%.展开更多

However, due to the high dimensionality of an image space, many LDA based approaches first use the principal component analysis (PCA) to project an image into a lower dimensional space, then perform the LDA transform to extract discriminant feature. But some useful discriminant information to the following LDA transform will be lost in the PCA step. To overcome these defects, a face recognition method based on the discrete cosine transform (DCT) and the LDA is proposed. First the DCT is used to achieve dimension reduction, then LDA transform is performed on the lower space to extract features. Two face databases are used to test our method and the correct recognition rates of 97.5% and 96.0% are obtained respectively. The performance of the proposed method is compared with that of the PCA+ LDA method and the results show that the method proposed outperforms the PCA+ LDA method.展开更多

Grain size is a useful way to determine sedimentary environment and provenance. Fisher Linear Discriminant Analysis(LDA) is a common and widely used method for multivariate statistical analysis. Based on a proper training sample set, the LDA can be used to discuss the sediment provenance. In this study, grain size data for 77 Malan loess samples and 41 floodplain deposit samples were used as a training sample set to deduce a Fisher linear discriminant function. Then, 299 VRC samples from 6 Quaternary red clay profiles were analyzed using the discriminant function. Grain size parameters and microscopic images of quartz grains separated from the VRC were evaluated in detail to determine the VRC sedimentary environment in south China. The results show that VRC profiles can be classified into two regions: the Chiang-nan Hilly Region and Wuyi Mountains Region. The VRC samples in the Chiang-nan Hilly Region originated from eolian dust deposits. This VRC is characterized by a higher content of fine particles(<20 μm) and lower average transport kinetic energy than loess in a C-M plot. The quartz grain sizes and microscope images of this VRC suggest that it could be a polyphyletic mixture of far-sourced and nearsourced eolian deposits. The far-sourced eolian deposits share similar provenance with Xiashu loess and were transported by the East Asian winter monsoon. The near-sourced eolian deposits were dust emitted from the adjacent floodplain. In the Wuyi Mountains Region, the rugged topography weakened the dustfall and strengthened the reconstructive effect of hydrodynamic forces during the Quaternary glacial periods. The VRC in this region was reworked strongly by water and retained typical hydraulic characteristics no matter the source.展开更多

文摘Improved picture quality is critical to the effectiveness of object recog-nition and tracking.The consistency of those photos is impacted by night-video systems because the contrast between high-profile items and different atmospheric conditions,such as mist,fog,dust etc.The pictures then shift in intensity,colour,polarity and consistency.A general challenge for computer vision analyses lies in the horrid appearance of night images in arbitrary illumination and ambient envir-onments.In recent years,target recognition techniques focused on deep learning and machine learning have become standard algorithms for object detection with the exponential growth of computer performance capabilities.However,the iden-tification of objects in the night world also poses further problems because of the distorted backdrop and dim light.The Correlation aware LSTM based YOLO(You Look Only Once)classifier method for exact object recognition and deter-mining its properties under night vision was a major inspiration for this work.In order to create virtual target sets similar to daily environments,we employ night images as inputs;and to obtain high enhanced image using histogram based enhancement and iterative wienerfilter for removing the noise in the image.The process of the feature extraction and feature selection was done for electing the potential features using the Adaptive internal linear embedding(AILE)and uplift linear discriminant analysis(ULDA).The region of interest mask can be segmen-ted using the Recurrent-Phase Level set Segmentation.Finally,we use deep con-volution feature fusion and region of interest pooling to integrate the presently extremely sophisticated quicker Long short term memory based(LSTM)with YOLO method for object tracking system.A range of experimentalfindings demonstrate that our technique achieves high average accuracy with a precision of 99.7%for object detection of SSAN datasets that is considerably more than that of the other standard object detection mechanism.Our approach may therefore satisfy the true demands of night scene target detection applications.We very much believe that our method will help future research.

文摘In Wireless Sensor Networks(WSN),attacks mostly aim in limiting or eliminating the capability of the network to do its normal function.Detecting this misbehaviour is a demanding issue.And so far the prevailing research methods show poor performance.AQN3 centred efficient Intrusion Detection Systems(IDS)is proposed in WSN to ameliorate the performance.The proposed system encompasses Data Gathering(DG)in WSN as well as Intrusion Detection(ID)phases.In DG,the Sensor Nodes(SN)is formed as clusters in the WSN and the Distance-based Fruit Fly Fuzzy c-means(DFFF)algorithm chooses the Cluster Head(CH).Then,the data is amassed by the discovered path.Next,it is tested with the trained IDS.The IDS encompasses‘3’steps:pre-processing,matrix reduction,and classification.In pre-processing,the data is organized in a clear format.Then,attributes are presented on the matrix format and the ELDA(entropybased linear discriminant analysis)lessens the matrix values.Next,the output as of the matrix reduction is inputted to the QN3 classifier,which classifies the denial-of-services(DoS),Remotes to Local(R2L),Users to Root(U2R),and probes into attacked or Normal data.In an experimental estimation,the proposed algorithm’s performance is contrasted with the prevailing algorithms.The proposed work attains an enhanced outcome than the prevailing methods.
文摘In this paper, firstly, we propose a new method for choosing regularization parameter λ for lasso regression, which differs from traditional method such as multifold cross-validation, our new method gives the maximum value of parameter λ directly. Secondly, by considering another prior form over model space in the Bayes approach, we propose a new extended Bayes information criterion family, and under some mild condition, our new EBIC (NEBIC) is shown to be consistent. Then we apply our new method to choose parameter for sequential lasso regression which selects features by sequentially solving partially penalized least squares problems where the features selected in earlier steps are not penalized in the subsequent steps. Then sequential lasso uses NEBIC as the stopping rule. Finally, we apply our algorithm to identify the nonzero entries of precision matrix for high-dimensional linear discrimination analysis. Simulation results demonstrate that our algorithm has a lower misclassification rate and less computation time than its competing methods under considerations.
文摘Air quality is a critical concern for public health and environmental regulation. The Air Quality Index (AQI), a widely adopted index by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), serves as a crucial metric for reporting site-specific air pollution levels. Accurately predicting air quality, as measured by the AQI, is essential for effective air pollution management. In this study, we aim to identify the most reliable regression model among linear discriminant analysis (LDA), quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA), logistic regression, and K-nearest neighbors (KNN). We conducted four different regression analyses using a machine learning approach to determine the model with the best performance. By employing the confusion matrix and error percentages, we selected the best-performing model, which yielded prediction error rates of 22%, 23%, 20%, and 27%, respectively, for LDA, QDA, logistic regression, and KNN models. The logistic regression model outperformed the other three statistical models in predicting AQI. Understanding these models' performance can help address an existing gap in air quality research and contribute to the integration of regression techniques in AQI studies, ultimately benefiting stakeholders like environmental regulators, healthcare professionals, urban planners, and researchers.

文摘Mild cognitive impairment(MCI)is a precursor to Alzheimer’s disease.It is imperative to develop a proper treatment for this neurological disease in the aging society.This observational study investigated the effects of acupuncture therapy on MCI patients.Eleven healthy individuals and eleven MCI patients were recruited for this study.Oxy-and deoxy-hemoglobin signals in the prefrontal cortex during working-memory tasks were monitored using functional near-infrared spectroscopy.Before acupuncture treatment,working-memory experiments were conducted for healthy control(HC)and MCI groups(MCI-0),followed by 24 sessions of acupuncture for the MCI group.The acupuncture sessions were initially carried out for 6 weeks(two sessions per week),after which experiments were performed again on the MCI group(MCI-1).This was followed by another set of acupuncture sessions that also lasted for 6 weeks,after which the experiments were repeated on the MCI group(MCI-2).Statistical analyses of the signals and classifications based on activation maps as well as temporal features were performed.The highest classification accuracies obtained using binary connectivity maps were 85.7%HC vs.MCI-0,69.5%HC vs.MCI-1,and 61.69%HC vs.MCI-2.The classification accuracies using the temporal features mean from 5 seconds to 28 seconds and maximum(i.e,max(5:28 seconds))values were 60.6%HC vs.MCI-0,56.9%HC vs.MCI-1,and 56.4%HC vs.MCI-2.The results reveal that there was a change in the temporal characteristics of the hemodynamic response of MCI patients due to acupuncture.This was reflected by a reduction in the classification accuracy after the therapy,indicating that the patients’brain responses improved and became comparable to those of healthy subjects.A similar trend was reflected in the classification using the image feature.These results indicate that acupuncture can be used for the treatment of MCI patients.
文摘In this paper, a multi-view gait based human recognition system using the fusion of two kinds of features is proposed.We use cross wavelet transform to extract dynamic feature and bipartite graph model to extract static feature which are coefficients of quadrature mirror filter(QMF)-graph wavelet filter bank. Feature fusion is done after normalization. For normalization of features, min-max rule is used and mean-variance method is used to find weights for normalized features. Euclidean distance between each feature vector and center of the cluster which is obtained by k-means clustering is used as similarity measure in Bayesian framework. Experiments performed on widely used CASIA B gait database show that, the fusion of these two feature sets preserve discriminant information. We report 99.90 % average recognition rate.

文摘We proposed a detection method for wood defects based on linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and the use of compressed sensor images. Wood surface images were captured, using a camera Oscar F810C IRF camera, and then the image segmentation was performed, and the defect features were extracted from wood board images. To reduce the processing time, LDA algorithm was used to integrate these features and reduce their dimensions. Features after fusion were used to construct a data dictionary and a compressed sensor was designed to recognize the wood defects types. Of the three major defect types, 50 images live knots, dead knots, and cracks were used to test the effects of this method. The average time for feature fusion and classification was 0.446 ms with the classification accuracy of 94%.
文摘It has been demonstrated that the linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is an effective approach in face recognition tasks. However, due to the high dimensionality of an image space, many LDA based approaches first use the principal component analysis (PCA) to project an image into a lower dimensional space, then perform the LDA transform to extract discriminant feature. But some useful discriminant information to the following LDA transform will be lost in the PCA step. To overcome these defects, a face recognition method based on the discrete cosine transform (DCT) and the LDA is proposed. First the DCT is used to achieve dimension reduction, then LDA transform is performed on the lower space to extract features. Two face databases are used to test our method and the correct recognition rates of 97.5% and 96.0% are obtained respectively. The performance of the proposed method is compared with that of the PCA+ LDA method and the results show that the method proposed outperforms the PCA+ LDA method.

文摘Increasing interest in recent years has focused on vermicular red clay(VRC) in southern China due to its controversial sedimentary environment and provenance. Grain size is a useful way to determine sedimentary environment and provenance. Fisher Linear Discriminant Analysis(LDA) is a common and widely used method for multivariate statistical analysis. Based on a proper training sample set, the LDA can be used to discuss the sediment provenance. In this study, grain size data for 77 Malan loess samples and 41 floodplain deposit samples were used as a training sample set to deduce a Fisher linear discriminant function. Then, 299 VRC samples from 6 Quaternary red clay profiles were analyzed using the discriminant function. Grain size parameters and microscopic images of quartz grains separated from the VRC were evaluated in detail to determine the VRC sedimentary environment in south China. The results show that VRC profiles can be classified into two regions: the Chiang-nan Hilly Region and Wuyi Mountains Region. The VRC samples in the Chiang-nan Hilly Region originated from eolian dust deposits. This VRC is characterized by a higher content of fine particles(<20 μm) and lower average transport kinetic energy than loess in a C-M plot. The quartz grain sizes and microscope images of this VRC suggest that it could be a polyphyletic mixture of far-sourced and nearsourced eolian deposits. The far-sourced eolian deposits share similar provenance with Xiashu loess and were transported by the East Asian winter monsoon. The near-sourced eolian deposits were dust emitted from the adjacent floodplain. In the Wuyi Mountains Region, the rugged topography weakened the dustfall and strengthened the reconstructive effect of hydrodynamic forces during the Quaternary glacial periods. The VRC in this region was reworked strongly by water and retained typical hydraulic characteristics no matter the source.
