On Nonparametric Discrimination Using Density Differences
利用密度差进行非参数判别
We propose a technique for nonparametric discrimination in which smoothing parameters are chosen jointly, according to a criterion based on the difference between two densities. The approach is suitable for categorical, continuous and mixed data, and uses information from both populations to determine the smoothing parameter for any one population. In the case of categorical data, optimal performance is sometimes achieved using negative smoothing parameters, a property which…
