Study Notes
Pattern Classification and Bayesian Decision Theory
- The fundamental statistical approach to the problem of pattern classification is based on Bayesian decision theory.
Risk in Bayesian Decision Theory
- The simplest risk in Bayesian decision theory is the Bayes risk, which is the minimum expected risk achievable by a classifier.
State of Nature in Bayesian Decision Theory
- The term 'state of nature' in Bayesian decision theory refers to the underlying class or label of the pattern, represented by ω (omega).
Probability Density Functions in Pattern Classification
- The probability density function p(x) represents the probability distribution of the feature vector x in pattern classification.
- The conditional probability density p(x/ωj) represents the probability distribution of the feature vector x given the state of nature ωj (omega j), which is the probability of observing x given that the pattern belongs to class ωj.
