A Deterministic Approach to Partitioning Neural Network Training Data for the Classification Problem
The classification problem in discriminant analysis involves identifying a function that accurately classifies observations as originating from one of two or more mutually exclusive groups. Because no single classification technique works best for all problems, many different techniques have been …
