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

Genres are presumably groups. So linear combinations of variables that best separate the genres would be more effectively found by linear canonical variates analysis (aka discriminant analysis). Richard Wright On Thu, 14 Feb 2002 03:18:48 GMT, Jim Snow [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: snipped
