PERBANDINGAN ANALISIS DISKRIMINAN LINIER KLASIK DAN ANALISIS DISKRIMINAN LINIER ROBUST UNTUK PENGKLASIFIKASIAN KESEJAHTERAAN MASYARAKAT KABUPATEN/KOTA DI JAWA TENGAH

Discriminant analysis is a statistics method which is used to classify an individual or object into certain group which has determined based on its independent variables. Discriminant analysis that commonly used is classical discriminant analysis which consist of classical linear discriminant analysis and classical quadratic discriminant analysis. In classical linear discriminant analysis there are two assumptions to be fulfilled i.e. independent variables have to be normal multivariate distributed and the covariance matrix from the two observed objects should be the same. Classical discriminant analysis cannot work properly if the data which being analyzed consists of many outliers. In order to make discriminant analysis works optimally within the classification though in the condition of data which contains of many outliers, robust estimator is needed. The robust discriminant analysis is used to get the high classification accuracy for data which contains of many outliers. Fast-MCD estimator is one of the robust estimators which is aimed to get the smallest determinant of covariance matrices. The robust linear discriminant analysis with fast-MCD method in this graduating paper is implemented to determine the prosperity status of the people in the regencies or towns in Central Java. The total proportion of classification accuracy using robust linear discriminant analysis method on the data of Central Java people prosperity is 77.14 percent. It is equal with the result from classic linear discriminant analysis which is also 77.14 percent. It is caused by the few amount of outlier on the data of Central Java people prosperity.

Can One Discriminate between High-Growth Firms in Terms of Their Technology Specificity? An Empirical Verification

The authors aim to address two issues relating to the asset specificity of firms with respect to their technology. By applying discriminant analysis to a sample of fast-growing firms, they attempt to develop simple and robust prediction equations. These equations would in turn utilise a few items of circumstantial information regarding firms to predict whether they are likely to invest relatively more in the R&D of new products or services or if they are likely to possess more or less specific technology

Detection of fast radio transients with multiple stations: a case study using the Very Long Baseline Array

Recent investigations reveal an important new class of transient radio phenomena that occur on sub-millisecond timescales. Often transient surveys' data volumes are too large to archive exhaustively. Instead, an on-line automatic system must excise impulsive interference and detect candidate events in real-time. This work presents a case study using data from multiple geographically distributed stations to perform simultaneous interference excision and transient detection. We present several algorithms that incorporate dedispersed data from multiple sites, and report experiments with a commensal real-time transient detection system on the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA). We test the system using observations of pulsar B0329+54. The multiple-station algorithms enhanced sensitivity for detection of individual pulses. These strategies could improve detection performance for a future generation of geographically distributed arrays such as the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder and the Square Kilometre Array.Comment: 12 pages, 14 figures.

In-ear EEG biometrics for feasible and readily collectable real-world person authentication

The use of EEG as a biometrics modality has been investigated for about a decade, however its feasibility in real-world applications is not yet conclusively established, mainly due to the issues with collectability and reproducibility. To this end, we propose a readily deployable EEG biometrics system based on a `one-fits-all' viscoelastic generic in-ear EEG sensor (collectability), which does not require skilled assistance or cumbersome preparation. Unlike most existing studies, we consider data recorded over multiple recording days and for multiple subjects (reproducibility) while, for rigour, the training and test segments are not taken from the same recording days. A robust approach is considered based on the resting state with eyes closed paradigm, the use of both parametric (autoregressive model) and non-parametric (spectral) features, and supported by simple and fast cosine distance, linear discriminant analysis and support vector machine classifiers. Both the verification and identification forensics scenarios are considered and the achieved results are on par with the studies based on impractical on-scalp recordings. Comprehensive analysis over a number of subjects, setups, and analysis features demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed ear-EEG biometrics, and its potential in resolving the critical collectability, robustness, and reproducibility issues associated with current EEG biometrics

Advances of Robust Subspace Face Recognition

Face recognition has been widely applied in fast video surveillance and security systems and smart home services in our daily lives. Over past years, subspace projection methods, such as principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), are the well-known algorithms for face recognition. Recently, linear regression classification (LRC) is one of the most popular approaches through subspace projection optimizations. However, there are still many problems unsolved in severe conditions with different environments and various applications. In this chapter, the practical problems including partial occlusion, illumination variation, different expression, pose variation, and low resolution are addressed and solved by several improved subspace projection methods including robust linear regression classification (RLRC), ridge regression (RR), improved principal component regression (IPCR), unitary regression classification (URC), linear discriminant regression classification (LDRC), generalized linear regression classification (GLRC) and trimmed linear regression (TLR). Experimental results show that these methods can perform well and possess high robustness against problems of partial occlusion, illumination variation, different expression, pose variation and low resolution

ROI sensitive analysis for real time gender classification

This paper addresses the issue of real time gender classification through texture analysis. The purpose is to perform sensitivity analysis over a number of ROI-Regions of Interest defined over face images. The determination of the smaller ROI yielding robust classification results will be used for fast computation of texture parameters allowing gender classification to operate in real-time. Results demonstrate that the ROI comprising the front and the region of the eyes is the most reliable achieving classification accuracy of 88% for both male and female subjects using raw data and non-optimised extraction and classification algorithms. This is a significant result that will drive future research on optimisation of texture extraction and linear discriminant algorithms
