Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The purpose of this article is to serve as an introduction to ROC graphs and as a guide for using them in research.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Sequential search methods characterized by a dynamically changing number of features included or eliminated at each step, henceforth "floating" methods, are presented and are shown to give very good results and to be computationally more effective than the branch and bound method.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This paper proposes, focusing on random forests, the increasingly used statistical method for classification and regression problems introduced by Leo Breiman in 2001, to investigate two classical issues of variable selection, and proposes a strategy involving a ranking of explanatory variables using the random forests score of importance and a stepwise ascending variable introduction strategy.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The Random Forest classifier uses bagging, or bootstrap aggregating, to form an ensemble of classification and regression tree (CART)-like classifiers, which is computationally much lighter than methods based on boosting and somewhat lighter than simple bagging.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This paper addresses the problem of information fusion in biometric verification systems by combining information at the matching score level by combining three biometric modalities (face, fingerprint and hand geometry).
