We introduce classifiers based on directional quantiles. We derive theoretical results for selecting optimal quantile levels given a direction, and, conversely, an optimal direction given a quantile level. We also show that the…
Support Vector Machine (SVM) has been one of the most successful machine learning techniques for binary classification problems. The key idea is to maximize the margin from the data to the hyperplane subject to correct classification on…
SVMs were initially developed to perform binary classification; though, applications of binary classification are very limited. Most of the practical applications involve multiclass classification, especially in remote sensing land cover…
The support vector machine (SVM) algorithm is well known to the computer learning community for its very good practical results. The goal of the present paper is to study this algorithm from a statistical perspective, using tools of…
Many of the best statistical classification algorithms are binary classifiers that can only distinguish between one of two classes. The number of possible ways of generalizing binary classification to multi-class increases exponentially…
Quantile-based classifiers can classify high-dimensional observations by minimising a discrepancy of an observation to a class based on suitable quantiles of the within-class distributions, corresponding to a unique percentage for all…
In binary classification framework, we are interested in making cost sensitive label predictions in the presence of uniform/symmetric label noise. We first observe that $0$-$1$ Bayes classifiers are not (uniform) noise robust in cost…
Many popular linear classifiers, such as logistic regression, boosting, or SVM, are trained by optimizing a margin-based risk function. Traditionally, these risk functions are computed based on a labeled dataset. We develop a novel…

Recently, there have been several papers that discuss the extension of the Pinball loss Support Vector Machine (Pin-SVM) model, originally proposed by Huang et al.,[1][2]. Pin-SVM classifier deals with the pinball loss function, which has…
In functional data analysis, binary classification with one functional covariate has been extensively studied. We aim to fill in the gap of considering multivariate functional covariates in classification. In particular, we propose an…
In classification with a reject option, the classifier is allowed in uncertain cases to abstain from prediction. The classical cost-based model of a reject option classifier requires the cost of rejection to be defined explicitly. An…
The soft-margin support vector machine (SVM) is a ubiquitous tool for prediction of binary-response data. However, the SVM is characterized entirely via a numerical optimization problem, rather than a probability model, and thus does not…
We propose a new training algorithm for supervised quantum classifiers. Here, we have harnessed the property of quantum entanglement to build a model that can simultaneously manipulate multiple training samples along with their labels.…
For the binary classification problem, a novel nonlinear kernel-free quadratic hyper-surface support vector machine with 0-1 loss function (QSSVM$_{0/1}$) is proposed. Specifically, the task of QSSVM$_{0/1}$ is to seek a quadratic…
In this paper, we consider the binary classification problem via distributed Support-Vector-Machines (SVM), where the idea is to train a network of agents, with limited share of data, to cooperatively learn the SVM classifier for the global…
In most machine learning applications, classification accuracy is not the primary metric of interest. Binary classifiers which face class imbalance are often evaluated by the $F_\beta$ score, area under the precision-recall curve, Precision…

In some applications, acquiring covariates comes at a cost which is not negligible. For example in the medical domain, in order to classify whether a patient has diabetes or not, measuring glucose tolerance can be expensive. Assuming that…
