A method is proposed for unsupervised classification by a feature that
may vary with time, measured by an erring sensor. A classification th
reshold for the erring sensor is found such that the misclassification
is minimized. It is shown that the method is an application of Bayes
rule without knowledge of the a priori probabilities, while estimating
the class conditional probabilities by an erring sensor model. Sortin
g of fruits is presented as an illustrative example.
