Abstract

In classification problems, the objective is to classify observations into a set of K discrete classes C∈{1…K}. To these ends, one often tries to estimate or approximate the posterior probabilities p(k|x) ≡ p(C = k|x). Given these, one could classify new observations x into the class C * for which we have
