Abstract:The optimum choice of categories for pattern recognition problems is on the one hand determined by the requirement of a low rate of misclassification. On the other hand, the classification of a pattern should result in an information gain as high as possible. A criterion for an optimum choice of categories which is the best compromise between the demands mentioned above is worked out. The Bayes rule is used as a decision function. The alteration of the Bayes risk as indicator for the rate of malrecognition is … Show more
