Abstract
In this paper, feature extraction is considered as preserving the value of the discriminant function for a given classifier which uses a posteriori probabilities P(ω|X) while reducing dimensionality. For classification minimizing Bayes' error, a posteriori probabilities would be the best features. In this feature space, the probability of error is the same as in the original space assuming Bayes' classifier. We consider feature extraction as eliminating features which have no impact on the value of the discriminant function and propose a feature extraction algorithm which eliminates those irrelevant features and retains only useful features. The proposed feature extraction algorithm does not deteriorate even when there is no difference in the mean vectors or no differences in the covariance matrices, and can be used for both parametric classifiers and non-parametric classifiers.
