Detailed Description

A decision rule that operates as a frequentist's approximation to Bayes rule.

MaximumRatioDecisionRule returns the class label using a Bayesian style decision rule. The discriminant scores are evaluated in the context of class priors. If the discriminant scores are actual conditional probabilites (likelihoods) and the class priors are actual a priori class probabilities, then this decision rule operates as Bayes rule, returning the class $i$ if $p(x|i) p(i) > p(x|j) p(j)$ for all class $j$ . The discriminant scores and priors are not required to be true probabilities.

This class is named the MaximumRatioDecisionRule as it can be implemented as returning the class $i$ if $\frac{p(x|i)}{p(x|j)} > \frac{p(j)}{p(i)}$ for all class $j$ .

A priori values need to be set before calling the Evaluate method. If they are not set, a uniform prior is assumed.

Member Function Documentation

virtual::itk::LightObject::Pointer itk::Statistics::MaximumRatioDecisionRule::CreateAnother ( void ) const

virtual

Create an object from an instance, potentially deferring to a factory. This method allows you to create an instance of an object that is exactly the same type as the referring object. This is useful in cases where an object has been cast back to a base class.

Reimplemented from itk::Object.

virtual ClassIdentifierType itk::Statistics::MaximumRatioDecisionRule::Evaluate ( const MembershipVectorType & discriminantScores ) const

virtual

Evaluate the decision rule $p(x|i) p(i) > p(x|j) p(j)$ . Prior probabilities need to be set before calling Evaluate() using the SetPriorProbabilities() method (otherwise a uniform prior is assumed). Parameter to Evaluate() is the discriminant score in the form of a likelihood $p(x|i)$ .

Implements itk::Statistics::DecisionRule.

virtual const char* itk::Statistics::MaximumRatioDecisionRule::GetNameOfClass ( ) const

protectedvirtual

Methods invoked by Print() to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from itk::Object.

void itk::Statistics::MaximumRatioDecisionRule::SetPriorProbabilities ( const PriorProbabilityVectorType & p )

Set the prior probabilities used in evaluating $p(x|i) p(i) > p(x|j) p(j)$ . The likelihoods are set using the Evaluate() method. SetPriorProbabilities needs to be called before Evaluate(). If not set, assumes a uniform prior.
