Application of a Nonparametric Pattern Recognition Algorithm to the Problem of Testing the Hypothesis of the Independence of Variables of Multi-Valued Functions

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

The problem of hypothesis testing for the independence of two-dimensional random variables in the analysis of variables of multi-valued functions is considered. To solve it, we used a technique based on a nonparametric kernel-type pattern recognition algorithm corresponding to the maximum likelihood criterion. The technique made it possible to bypass the problem of decomposing the random variable domain of values into intervals. Based on the results of computational experiments, the effectiveness of the applied technique was estimated depending on the type of multi-valued functions, the level of random noise and the amount of initial statistical data. The results obtained are relevant for solving the problem of detecting natural and technical objects from remote sensing data.
