Abstract:

Classification for high dimensional data is very important in modern statistical methodology development. In this article, we propose a penalized matrix classification method (PMCA), which can be viewed as a generalization of the conventional LDA method to the data with matrix predictors. To incorporate the predictors sparsity into the classification analysis, we regularized the $L_1$ norm of the matrix classifiers and integrate the classification and feature selection together. We studied asymptotic properties of the algorithm by both theoretical analyses and empirical examples, and showed its superior performances in comparison with existing methods by simulations. We also show the practical usage of PMCA on the classification of the volatile chemical toxicants.
