Pattern Classification

This page has been setup for presenting my work related to an Independently paced course on Pattern Classification that I am taking with Dr. Inderjit Dhillon. Right now I have put up the solutions to some problems that we have looked at. The textbook we are using is: Pattern Classification--Duda, Hart and Stork. 2000

Currently I have the following to share:

Solutions to HW #1 Keywords: Multivariate Normal Density, PDF, Whitening Transform
Solutions to HW #2 Keywords: Kullback-Leibler divergence, Maximum Likelihood, Multi-variate Gaussian, Eigenvalues
Solutions to HW #3 Keywords: Maximum Likelihood, Multi-variate Gaussian, Matrix calculus, Directional Distributions, von-Mises Fisher, Gamma Function, Modified Bessel Function, Polar Co-ordinates, Jacobian, Statistics
Solutions to HW #4 Keywords: Maximum Likelihood, Multi-variate Gaussian mixture, EM algorithm, matlab
Modeling data using Directional Statistics PROJECT Keywords: EM algorithm, von-Mises Fisher distribution, Mixture model, Bessel functions
