Classification Methods

چکیده
Generally speaking, classification is the action of assigning an object to a category according to the characteristics of the object. In data mining, classification refers to the task of analyzing a set of pre-classified data objects to learn a model (or a function) that can be used to classify an unseen data object into one of several predefined classes. A data object, referred to as an example, is described by a set of attributes or variables. One of the attributes describes the class that an example belongs to and is thus called the class attribute or class variable. Other attributes are often called independent or predictor attributes (or variables). The set of examples used to learn the classification model is called the training data set. Tasks related to classification include regression, which builds a model from training data to predict numerical values, and clustering, which groups examples to form categories. Classification belongs to the category of supervised learning, distinguished from unsupervised learning. In supervised learning, the training data consists of pairs of input data (typically vectors), and desired outputs, while in unsupervised learning there is no a priori output. Classification has various applications, such as learning from a patient database to diagnose a disease based on the symptoms of a patient, analyzing credit card transactions to identify fraudulent transactions, automatic recognition of letters or digits based on handwriting samples, and distinguishing highly active compounds from inactive ones based on the structures of compounds for drug discovery.

Discriminative methods are used for increasing pattern recognition and classification accuracy. These methods can be used as discriminant transformations applied to features or they can be used as discriminative learning algorithms for the classifiers. Usually, discriminative transformations criteria are different from the criteria of discriminant classifiers training or their error. In this ...
متن کاملNegative Selection Based Data Classification with Flexible Boundaries
One of the most important artificial immune algorithms is negative selection algorithm, which is an anomaly detection and pattern recognition technique; however, recent research has shown the successful application of this algorithm in data classification. Most of the negative selection methods consider deterministic boundaries to distinguish between self and non-self-spaces. In this paper, two...
