Classifier

Notes

This implements a mixture classifier which is a particular classifier based on a minimum volume confidence domain.

The minimum volume confidence domain $A^*_{\alpha_i}$ is the set of minimum volume and which measure is at least $\alpha_i$ . It is defined by:

$A^*_{\alpha_i} = \argmin_{A \in \Rset^d\, | \, \mu(A) \geq \alpha_i} \lambda(A)$

where $\lambda$ is the Lebesgue measure on $\Rset^d$ . Under some general conditions on $\mu$ (for example, no flat regions), the set $A^*_{\alpha_i}$ is unique and realises the minimum: $\mu(A^*_{\alpha_i}) = \alpha$ . We show that $A^*_{\alpha_i}$ writes:

$A^*_{\alpha_i} = \{ \vect{x} \in \Rset^d \, | \, p(\vect{x}) \geq p_{\alpha_i} \}$

The classifier proposes 2 classes. The rule to assign a point $\vect{x}$ to a class k is defined as follows: $k = \argmin_i \text{with} p(\vect{x}) > p_{\alpha_i}$

The grade of $\vect{x}$ with respect to the class k is $log p(\vect{x})$ if $\vect{x}$ belongs to class k else $- log p(\vect{x})$ .

Examples

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> R2 = ot.CorrelationMatrix(2)
>>> dists = [ot.Normal([-1.0, 2.0], [1.0]*2, R2), ot.Normal([1.0, -2.0], [1.5]*2, R2)]
>>> mixture = ot.Mixture(dists)
>>> sample = mixture.getSample(1000)
>>> distribution = ot.KernelSmoothing().build(sample)
>>> algo = ot.MinimumVolumeClassifier(distribution, [0.8])
>>> algo.classify(distribution.getMean())
0
>>> algo.classify([100.0]*2)
1
>>> sample = distribution.getSample(100)
>>> graph = algo.drawSample(sample, [0, 1])
