Pattern Recognition by Dinamic Feature Analysis Based on PCA

Abstract

Usually, in pattern recognition problems we represent the observations by mean of measures on appropriate variables of data set, these measures can be categorized as Static and Dynamic Features. Static features are not always an accurate representation of data. In these sense, many phenomena are better modeled by dynamic changes on their measures. The advantage of using an extended form (dynamic features) is the inclusion of new information that allows us to get a better representation of the object. Nevertheless, sometimes it is difficult in a classification stage to deal with dynamic features, because the associated computational cost often can be higher than we deal with static features. For analyzing such representations, we use Principal Component Analysis (PCA), arranging dynamic data in such a way we can consider variations related to the intrinsic dynamic of observations. Therefore, the method made possible to evaluate the dynamic information about of the observations on a lower dimensionality feature space without decreasing the accuracy performance. Algorithms were tested on real data to classify pathological speech from normal voices, and using PCA for dynamic feature selection, as well.
