2 Bayes classfers for Normally dstrbuted classes O Lecture we showed that the decso rule (MAP) that mmzed the probablty of error could be formulated terms of a famly of dscrmat fuctos choose f > j where P( x) j As we wll show, for classes that are ormally dstrbuted, ths famly of dscrmat fuctos ca be reduced to very smple expressos Geeral expresso for Gaussa destes he multvarate Normal desty fucto was defed as fx / ( π) / exp (x ) Us Bayes rule, the MAP dscrmat fucto becomes (x ) P(x )P( ) P( x) P / ( π) Elmat costat terms Dscrmat fuctos Features -/ exp (x ) (x ) P( ) We take atural los sce the loarthm s a mootocally creas fucto (x ) (x ) - lo / exp ( ) lo( P( )) (x ) x Class assmet Select max x x (x ) P( ) P C x d Costs hs expresso s called a quadratc dscrmat fucto Itroducto to Patter Aalyss Rcardo Guterrez-Osua exas A&M Uversty
