MEDIANC

Median combining classifier

    W = MEDIANC(V)
    W = V*MEDIANC

Input
 V Set of classifiers

Output
 W Median combining classifier on V

Description

If V = [V1,V2,V3, ... ] is a set of classifiers trained on the same  classes, then W is the median combiner: it selects the class with  the median of the outputs of the input classifiers. This might also  be used as A*[V1,V2,V3]*MEDIANC, in which A is a dataset to be  classified.

If it is desired to operate on posterior probabilities then the input  classifiers should be extended to output these, as V = V*CLASSC.
