Correlation and High-Dimensional Consistency in Pattern Recognition
模式识别中的相关性与高维一致性
Classical discriminant analysis breaks down when the feature vectors are of extremely high dimension; for example, when the basic observation is a random function observed over a fine grid. Alternative methods have been developed assuming a simplified form for the covariance structure. We analyze the high-dimensional asymptotics of some of these methods, emphasizing the effects of correlations such as occur when the baseline is random. For instance, the Euclidean distance…
