What is your favorite decision method?
Student poll for ECE662, Spring 2010.
- 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
- Nearest neighbors. It reminds me of human behavior in that if we don't know what to do in certain situations (social ones in particular), we'll look at those around us to decide what to do. -ATH
