Abstract:
|
Linear discriminate analysis (LDA) is a commonly used method for two-class classification. However, LDA may not perform well in the case of high dimensional data with number of variables p larger than the number of observations n. In this work, we proposed a novel sparse LDA which generalizes LDA through a regularized approach with shrinkage on both the inverse covariance matrix and the mean difference between the two classes. The proposed method enjoys the advantage of ease of interpretation with efficient computation. Simulation under multiple data generation settings are conducted to compare the proposed method with other commonly used methods in terms of estimation accuracy and misclassification error. The performance of proposed method is also examined through real leukemia and lung cancer data.
