In statistical classification the Bayes classifier minimises the probability of misclassification. ==Definition== Suppose a pair takes values in , where is the class label of . This means that the conditional distribution of ''X'', given that the label ''Y'' takes the value ''r'' is given by : for where "" means "is distributed as", and where denotes a probability distribution. A classifier is a rule that assigns to an observation ''X''=''x'' a guess or estimate of what the unobserved label ''Y''=''r'' actually was. In theoretical terms, a classifier is a measurable function , with the interpretation that ''C'' classifies the point ''x'' to the class ''C''(''x''). The probability of misclassification, or risk, of a classifier ''C'' is defined as : The Bayes classifier is : In practice, as in most of statistics, the difficulties and subtleties are associated with modeling the probability distributions effectively—in this case, . The Bayes classifier is a useful benchmark in statistical classification. The excess risk of a general classifier (possibly depending on some training data) is defined as Thus this non-negative quantity is important for assessing the performance of different classification techniques. A classifier is said to be consistent if the excess risk converges to zero as the size of the training data set tends to infinity. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bayes classifier」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
