Fuzzy discriminant analysis in fuzzy groups (Q1081254): Difference between revisions

This paper deals with discriminant problems to classify samples with fuzzy multi-attribute into fuzzy groups. In this problem, the objective is to determine the linear discriminant function that provides the maximum separation of fuzzy groups in a real space. For this purpose, we define the fuzzy variance ratio and employ maximization of the fuzzy variance ratio as a criterion. Furthermore, a partial correlation coefficient in the fuzzy groups is defined to estimate the influence of each attribute itself on the discrimination between fuzzy groups.
