We propose using the integrated periodogram to classify time series. The method assigns a new element to the group minimizing the distance from the integrated periodogram of the element to the group mean of integrated periodograms. Local computation of these periodograms allows the application...

Support Vector Machines (SVMs) is known to be a powerful nonparametric classification technique even for high-dimensional data. Although predictive ability is important, obtaining an easy-to-interpret classifier is also crucial in many applications. Linear SVM provides a classifier based on a...

A procedure for clustering and classifying images determined by three classification variables is presented. A measure of global variability based on the singular value decomposition of the image matrices, and two average measures of local variability based on spatial correlation and spatial...

Pattern recognition is one of the major challenges in statistics framework. Its goal is the feature extraction to classify the patterns into categories. A well-known example in this field is the handwritten digit recognition where digits have to be assigned into one of the 10 classes using some...
