An Almost Surely Optimal Combined Classification Rule

Journal of Multivariate Analysis, 2002, vol. 81, issue 1, 28-46

Abstract: We propose a data-based procedure for combining a number of individual classifiers in order to construct more effective classification rules. Under some regularity conditions, the resulting combined classifier turns out to be almost surely superior to each of the individual classifiers. Here, superiority means lower misclassification error rate.
