Feature combinations and the bhattacharyya criterion
H. P. Decell, Salma K. Marani · Communication in Statistics- Theory and Methods · 1976
We develop a procedure for calculating a kxn rank k matrix B for data compression using the Bhattacharyya bound on the probability of error and an iterative construction using Householder transformations. Two sets of remotely sensed agricultural data are used to demonstrate the application of the procedure. The results of the applications give some indication of the extent to which the Bhattacharyya bound on the probability of error is affected by such transformations for multivariate normal populations.
