Abstract
The present invention provides a method of performing statistical classification that can resolve conflict in independent sources of information, thereby creating a robust statistical classifier that has superior performance to classifiers currently available. Additionally, the present invention is automatically trainable, yielding improved classification performance. The present invention may be embodied in a method of statistically classifying events or objects, including the steps of gathering sets of information representative of features of an object or event; creating basic probability assignments based on said sets of information; determining a coarse information set from said sets of information; performing coarsening on said sets of information; performing linear superposition on each feature; and combining all features to reach a conclusion.
