Empirical survival error potential weighted least squares for binary pattern classification

A weighted least squares scheme based on an empirical survival error potential function is proposed in this paper. The empirical survival error potential function provides an error compensation scheme for noise distributions far from being Gaussian. This error compensation procedure is efficiently implemented via a weighted least squares formulation where an analytical solution form is obtained. The performance of the developed scheme is extensively tested on 16 benchmark data sets where the results show promising potential of the proposed empirical survival error distribution compensation scheme for binary pattern classification.
