In recent years in the fields of statistics and machine learning an increasing amount of so called local classification … methods has been developed. Local approaches to classification are not new, but have lately become popular. Well …

The inability to capture sequential patterns is a typical drawback of predictive classification methods. This caveat … might be overcome by modeling sequential independent variables by sequence-analysis methods. Combining classification … methods with sequenceanalysis methods enables classification models to incorporate non-time varying as well as sequential …
