Abstract
A new family of plug-in classification techniques has recently been de veloped in the statistics and machine learning literature. A plug-in c lassification technique (PICT) is a method that takes a standard class ifier (such as LDA or TREES) and plugs it into an algorithm to produce a new classifier. The standard classifier is known as the base classi fier. These methods often produce large improvements over using a sing le classifier. In this article we investigate one of these methods and give some motivation for its success.
