A Comparison between a Bayesian Approach and a Method Based on Continuous Belief Functions for Pattern Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
The theory of belief functions in discrete domain has been employed with success for pattern recognition. However, the Bayesian approach performs well provided that once the probability density functions are well estimated. Recently, the theory of belief functions has been more and more developed to the continuous case. In this paper, we compare results obtained by a Bayesian approach and a method based on continuous belief functions to characterize seabed sediments. The probability density functions of each feature of seabed sediments are unimodal and estimated from a Gaussian model and compared with an α-stable model.

A Bayesian Approach for the Recognition of Control Chart Patterns
In this research, an iterative approach is employed to recognize and classify control chart patterns. To do this, by taking new observations on the quality characteristic under consideration, the Maximum Likelihood Estimator of pattern parameters is first obtained and then the probability of each pattern is determined. Then using Bayes’ rule, probabilities are updated recursively. Finally, when...
متن کاملA New Statistical Approach for Recognizing and Classifying Patterns of Control Charts (RESEARCH NOTE)
Control chart pattern (CCP) recognition techniques are widely used to identify the potential process problems in modern industries. Recently, artificial neural network (ANN) –based techniques are very popular to recognize CCPs. However, finding the suitable architecture of an ANN-based CCP recognizer and its training process are time consuming and tedious. In addition, because of the black box ...
متن کاملWeighted similarity measure on interval-valued fuzzy sets and its application to pattern recognition
A new approach to define the similarity measure betweeninterval-valued fuzzy sets is presented. The proposed approach isbased on a weighted measure in which the normalized similaritiesbetween lower functions and also between upper functions arecombined by a weight parameter. The properties of this similaritymeasure are investigated. It is shown that, the proposed measurehas some advantages in c...
متن کاملContinuous belief functions and α-stable distributions
The theory of belief functions has been formalized in continuous domain for pattern recognition. Some applications use assumption of Gaussian models. However, this assumption is reductive. Indeed, some data are not symmetric and present property of heavy tails. It is possible to solve these problems by using a class of distributions called α-stable distributions. Consequently, we present in thi...
متن کاملImproved Bayesian Training for Context-Dependent Modeling in Continuous Persian Speech Recognition
Context-dependent modeling is a widely used technique for better phone modeling in continuous speech recognition. While different types of context-dependent models have been used, triphones have been known as the most effective ones. In this paper, a Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) estimation approach has been used to estimate the parameters of the untied triphone model set used in data-driven clust...
