Discriminant method for severity of glandular tumor by support vector machine
Ayako Suzuki, Toshiyuki Tanaka · 2008
In this study, glandular tumor images are classified automatically by the support vector machine (SVM) in order to make up for a fault of discriminant analysis, Mahalanobis’ generalized distance which was used in recent studies. The fault of Mahalanobis’ generalized distance is the problem, that is to say, the Curse of Dimensionality. To avoid this problem, we used the support vector machine (SVM) as the discriminant analysis, used the prostate images as glandular tumor images, and examined the effectiveness of this system.
