Parzen window method and classification

A slecture by ECE student Chiho Choi

Partly based on the ECE662 Spring 2014 lecture material of Prof. Mireille Boutin.

Unlike parametric density estimation methods, non-parametric approaches locally estimate density function by a small number of neighboring samples [4] and therefore show less accurate estimation results. In spite of their accuracy, however, the performance of classifiers designed using these estimates is very satisfactory.


The basic idea for estimating unknown density function is based on the fact that the probability $ P $ that a vector x belongs to a region $ R $ [1]:

$ P = \int_R p(\textbf{x}') d\textbf{x}' $.

It can be rewritten as

$ \int_R p(\textbf{x}') d\textbf{x}' \simeq p(\textbf{x})V \simeq \frac{k}{n} $,

if we assume a small local region $ R $, a large number of samples $ n $, and $ k $ of $ n $ falling in $ R $.\\ Suppose that the region $ R $ is a $ d $-dimensional hypercube around $ \textbf{x}_i \in \mathbb{R}^n $ in the rest of this slecture, and let the volume $ V_n $:

$ V_n = h_n^d $

where $ h_n $ is the length of an edge. Then the window function for this hypercube can be defined by

$ \varphi(\textbf{u}) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ccc} 1, & |u_j| \leq \frac{1}{2} & j = 1, ..., d \\ 0, & else. & \end{array} \right. $



Post your slecture material here. Guidelines:

  • If you are making a text slecture
    • Type text using wikitext markup languages
    • Type all equations using latex code between <math> </math> tags.
    • You may include links to other Project Rhea pages.
