PARZENM

Estimate Parzen densities

    W = PARZENM(A,H)
    W = A*PARZENM([],H)

    D = B*W

Input
 A Input dataset
 H Smoothing parameters (scalar, vector)

Output
 W output mapping

Description

A Parzen distribution is estimated for the labeled objects in A. Unlabeled  objects are neglected, unless A is entirely unlabeled or double. Then all  objects are used. If A is a multi-class dataset the densities are estimated  class by class and then weighted and combined according their prior  probabilities. In all cases, just single density estimator W is computed.

The mapping W may be applied to a new dataset B using DENSITY = B*W.

The smoothing parameter H is estimated by PARZENML if not supplied. It can  be a scalar or a vector with as many components as A has features.
