A. Baldovin et al., REGULARIZED DISCRIMINANT-ANALYSIS (RDA) - MODELING FOR THE BINARY DISCRIMINATION BETWEEN POLLUTION TYPES, Chemometrics and intelligent laboratory systems, 38(1), 1997, pp. 25-37
Discrimination between different types of pollution is carried out wit
h RDA. A description of the most important characteristics of the mode
l is presented. Attention is paid to the four extreme discrimination m
odels that are special cases of RDA and which are the well known linea
r discriminant analysis (LDA) and quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA
), the nearest-means classifier (NM) and the weighted nearest means-cl
assifier (WNM). A comparison among RDA and partial least squares (PLS)
is attempted and some first considerations are proposed. Feature sele
ction to determine the most important variables for the discrimination
is studied. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
