- Coin flipping. ostava
- Interesting. What is the expected rate of error for this method? -pm
- I would think the expected error would be .5. Assume if heads decide class 1, if tails decide class 2. So P(error) = P(Heads)P(Class 2) + P(Tails)P(Class 1). I'll assume you have a fair coin so P(Heads) = P(Tails) = .5. Also, if there's only two classes, P(Class 2) + P(Class 1) = 1. Thus from the above formula, P(error) = .5(P(Class1) + P(Class2)) = .5 -ATH
