Parametric Feature Extraction through Error Minimization Applied to Medical Diagnosis
T. Lissack, King‐Sun Fu · IEEE Transactions on Systems Man and Cybernetics · 1976
Feature extraction for parametric problems is carried out via the direct minimization of the probability of error estimated by the F-method. The proposed methods for feature ordering and feature extraction are applied to the medical diagnosis of two cancer diseases (cancer of the pancreas and primary cancer of the liver) with encouraging results.
