Some Information Theoretic Optimality Criteria for General Classification'

نویسنده

  • George F. Estabrook
چکیده

Central to the various purposes for which general classification is practiced is the preservation, or summarizing, of information (Michener, 1963; Sneath, 1957; Sokal, 1962; Farris, 1967; Johnson, 1968; Rogers, 1961; Wirth, Estabrook, and Rogers, 1966). This discussion will present one method in which this fundamental concept can be made more precise and, within that context, suggest possible logical formulations for preservation or summarization of information.

Feature Selection Using Multi Objective Genetic Algorithm with Support Vector Machine

Different approaches have been proposed for feature selection to obtain suitable features subset among all features. These methods search feature space for feature subsets which satisfies some criteria or optimizes several objective functions. The objective functions are divided into two main groups: filter and wrapper methods.  In filter methods, features subsets are selected due to some measu...

On Efficiency Criteria in Density Estimation

We discuss the classical efficiency criteria in density estimation and propose some variants. The context is a general density estimation scheme that contains the cases of i.i.d. or dependent random variables, in discrete or continuous time. Unbiased estimation, optimality and asymptotic optimality are considered. An example of a density estimator that satisfies some suggested criteria is given...

Information-Theoretic Bounded Rationality and ε-Optimality

Bounded rationality concerns the study of decision makers with limited information processing resources. Previously, the free energy difference functional has been suggested to model bounded rational decision making, as it provides a natural trade-off between an energy or utility function that is to be optimized and information processing costs that are measured by entropic search costs. The ma...
