Fuzzy regularized generalized eigenvalue classifier with a novel membership function

Supervised classification of data affected by noise or error, with unknown probability distribution, is a challenging task. To this extend, we propose the Fuzzy Regularized Eigenvalue Classifier, based on a recent technique to classify data in two or more classes. We compare the execution time and accuracy of the classifier with other de facto standard methods. With the adoption of a novel membership function, the classifier is capable to produce more accurate models that well compare with results obtained by other methods, and fuzzy weighting functions, on benchmark datasets. 2013 Elsevier Inc.
