Robust classification with flexible discriminant analysis in heterogeneous data
Linear and Quadratic Discriminant Analysis are well-known classical methods but can heavily suffer from non-Gaussian distributions and/or contaminated datasets, mainly because of the underlying Gaussian assumption that is not robust. To fill this gap, this paper presents a new robust discriminant analysis where each data point is drawn by its own arbitrary Elliptically Symmetrical (ES) distribution and its own arbitrary scale parameter. Such a model allows for possibly very heterogeneous, independent but non-identically distributed samples. After deriving a new decision rule, it is shown that maximum-likelihood parameter estimation and classification are very simple, fast and robust compared to state-of-the-art methods.

Quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA) is a widely used method for classification problems, particularly preferable over Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) for heterogeneous data. However, QDA loses its effectiveness in h…
Functional Mixture Discriminant Analysis with hidden process regression for curve classification
We present a new mixture model-based discriminant analysis approach for functional data using a specific hidden process regression model. The approach allows for fitting flexible curve-models to each class of complex-sha…
