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

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

Security in vehicular ad hoe networks is crucial to the reliable exchange of information and control data. In this paper, we propose an intelligent Intrusion Detection System （IDS） to protect the external communication of self-driving and semi self-driving vehicles. This technology has the ability to detect Denial of Service （DOS） and black hole attacks on vehicular ad hoe networks （VANETs）. The advantage of the proposed IDS over existing security systems is that it detects attacks before they causes significant damage. The intrusion prediction technique is based on Linear Discriminant Analysis （LDA） and Quadratic Diseriminant Analysis （QDA） which are used to predict attacks based on observed vehicle behavior. We perform simulations using Network Simulator 2 to demonstrate that the IDS achieves a low rate of false alarms and high accuracy in detection.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 method is based on the idea of reducing the influence of the eigenvectors associated with the large eigenvalues by normalizing the feature vector element by its corresponding standard deviation. The Yale face database and Yale face database B are used to verify the method. The simulation results show that, for front face and even under the condition of limited variation in the facial poses, the proposed method results in better performance than the conventional PCA and linear discriminant analysis （LDA） approaches, and the computational cost remains the same as that of the PCA, and much less than that of the LDA.展开更多

文摘Security is a vital parameter to conserve energy in wireless sensor networks(WSN).Trust management in the WSN is a crucial process as trust is utilized when collaboration is important for accomplishing trustworthy data transmission.But the available routing techniques do not involve security in the design of routing techniques.This study develops a novel statistical analysis with dingo optimizer enabled reliable routing scheme(SADO-RRS)for WSN.The proposed SADO-RRS technique aims to detect the existence of attacks and optimal routes in WSN.In addition,the presented SADORRS technique derives a new statistics based linear discriminant analysis(LDA)for attack detection,Moreover,a trust based dingo optimizer(TBDO)algorithm is applied for optimal route selection in the WSN and accomplishes secure data transmission in WSN.Besides,the TBDO algorithm involves the derivation of the fitness function involving different input variables of WSN.For demonstrating the enhanced outcomes of the SADO-RRS technique,a wide range of simulations was carried out and the outcomes demonstrated the enhanced outcomes of the SADO-RRS technique.

文摘Marginal Fisher analysis （MFA） not only aims to maintain the original relations of neighboring data points of the same class but also wants to keep away neighboring data points of the different classes.MFA can effectively overcome the limitation of linear discriminant analysis （LDA） due to data distribution assumption and available projection directions.However,MFA confronts the undersampled problems.Generalized marginal Fisher analysis （GMFA） based on a new optimization criterion is presented,which is applicable to the undersampled problems.The solutions to the proposed criterion for GMFA are derived,which can be characterized in a closed form.Among the solutions,two specific algorithms,namely,normal MFA （NMFA） and orthogonal MFA （OMFA）,are studied,and the methods to implement NMFA and OMFA are proposed.A comparative study on the undersampled problem of face recognition is conducted to evaluate NMFA and OMFA in terms of classification accuracy,which demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
