## relation with previous chapters

initial discriminant function is $g_i(x) = P(w_i \vert x) = \frac{p(x \vert w_i)P(w_i)}{p(x)},$ where $w_i$ is the class tag, and $P(w_i)$ is somewhat known as prior

$p(x \vert w_i)$ is assumed to have some form of distribution, with parameters $\mu$. Using MLE or bayesian estimation to get $\hat\mu$.

Also, we can use data to compute it in non-parameterized way

## introduction

Assume the given form of discriminant function, determine its parameter based on samples.

• No need to known the generative models.
• Actually a non-parameter model

Steps:

1. Given discriminant function with known form but unknown parameters
2. train with samples
3. do classification

## linear decision boundary

blabla

### multi-class classifier

• one-vs-all: one class and all other classes
• one-vs-one, for all one-one pair
• one-vs-others, in pace, 1coc(???)

ambiguous cases exists, thus change to the new decision rule:

## percetron

assume linear separable

• batch learning
• fixed-increment

## relax

• linear (L1)
• square (L2)
• relaxed: large error sample affect much
