Good places to start: Optimal feature extractors, that's better than PCA because you whiten your inter class scatter and so put all inter class comparisons on the same level. The good thing is this will also reduce your feature vector dimensionality to c-1 (where c is # classes). PCA will not do

i thought of a related data situation ...but at the opposite end what if you were interested in the relationship between the time it takes students to take a test AND their test score so, you have maybe 35 students in your 1 hour class that starts at 9AM ... you decide to note (by your watch) t

Hello, Thank you very much for your advises. I would want to play a little with Software for Flexible Bayesian Modeling by Radford M. Neal. But information supplied by documentation that goes with this doesn't make me clear some concepts related to priors mentioned in the documentation itself. D

I have a continuous response variable that ranges from 0 to 750. I only have 90 observations and 26 are at the lower limit of 0, which is the modal category. The mean is about 60 and the median is 3; the distribution is highly skewed, extremely kurtotic, etc. Obviously, none of the power transf
