New statistical method enhances classification accuracy over QDA and GAMs

A new research paper introduces a closed-form fractional radial link for elliptical Mahalanobis discriminant analysis, aiming to improve binary classification accuracy. The proposed method derives a Bayes radial-link family and estimates it using a fractional-power stochastic-polynomial projection, offering an alternative to spline tuning. This approach has demonstrated competitive or superior performance compared to existing methods like QDA and global GAMs across various benchmarks, including financial data and medical datasets like breast cancer.

    Closed-form fractional radial links for elliptical Mahalanobis discriminant analysis

    We study binary classification under shared-generator elliptical class-conditional distributions. The log-likelihood ratio is an additive function of the two squared Mahalanobis radii, with radial link $\varphi=\log g$; QDA is recovered only when this link is affine. We derive th…
