arXiv
pre-print
This method points a new frame for the computation of such estimates and the investigation of its statistical properties. ...
Finding the optimal weights is achieved by considering random weights and looking for a discrete distribution which maximizes an entropy under the calibration constraint. ...
Reducing the dimension of the problem is made by choosing the proper real-valued auxiliary variable, and therefore, the proper one-dimensional linear subspace on which y is projected. ...

Bending the Curve: Improving the ROC Curve Through Error Redistribution
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
We propose an algorithm for the derivation of optimal thresholds by redistributing the error depending on features that hold information about difficulty. ...
Features that hold information about the "difficulty" of the data may be non-discriminative and are therefore disregarded in the classification process. ...
