Fisher and Mahalanobis Discriminants (Linear Discriminant Analysis)

In the method of Fisher discriminants event selection is performed in a transformed variable space with zero linear correlations, by distinguishing the mean values of the signal and background distributions.

The linear discriminant analysis determines an axis in the (correlated) hyperspace of the input variables such that, when projecting the output classes (signal and background) upon this axis, they are pushed as far as possible away from each other, while events of a same class are confined in a close vicinity. The linearity property of this method is reflected in the metric with which "far apart" and "close vicinity" are determined: the covariance matrix of the discriminant variable space.

The classification of the events in signal and background classes relies on the following characteristics (only): overall sample means, \( x_i \), for each input variable, \( i \), class-specific sample means, \( x_{S(B),i}\), and total covariance matrix \( T_{ij} \). The covariance matrix can be decomposed into the sum of a within ( \( W_{ij} \)) and a between-class ( \( B_{ij} \)) class matrix. They describe the dispersion of events relative to the means of their own class (within-class matrix), and relative to the overall sample means (between-class matrix). The Fisher coefficients, \( F_i \), are then given by

\[ F_i = \frac{\sqrt{N_s N_b}}{N_s + N_b} \sum_{j=1}^{N_{SB}} W_{ij}^{-1} (\bar{X}_{Sj} - \bar{X}_{Bj}) \]

where in TMVA is set \( N_S = N_B \), so that the factor in front of the sum simplifies to \( \frac{1}{2}\). The Fisher discriminant then reads

\[ X_{Fi} = F_0 + \sum_{i=1}^{N_{SB}} F_i X_i \]

The offset \( F_0 \) centers the sample mean of \( x_{Fi} \) at zero. Instead of using the within-class matrix, the Mahalanobis variant determines the Fisher coefficients as follows:

\[ F_i = \frac{\sqrt{N_s N_b}}{N_s + N_b} \sum_{j=1}^{N_{SB}} (W + B)_{ij}^{-1} (\bar{X}_{Sj} - \bar{X}_{Bj}) \]

with resulting \( x_{Ma} \) that are very similar to the \( x_{Fi} \).

TMVA provides two outputs for the ranking of the input variables:

\[ \lambda = \frac{\sqrt{N_s N_b}}{N_s + N_b} \sum_{j=1}^{N_{SB}} F_i (\bar{X}_{Sj} - \bar{X}_{Bj}) \]

The corresponding numbers are printed on standard output.

◆ GetCov_BetweenClass()

void TMVA::MethodFisher::GetCov_BetweenClass ( void  )
private

the matrix of covariance 'between class' reflects the dispersion of the events of a class relative to the global center of gravity of all the class hence the separation between classes

Definition at line 417 of file MethodFisher.cxx.

◆ GetCov_Full()

void TMVA::MethodFisher::GetCov_Full ( void  )
private

compute full covariance matrix from sum of within and between matrices

Definition at line 440 of file MethodFisher.cxx.

◆ GetCov_WithinClass()

void TMVA::MethodFisher::GetCov_WithinClass ( void  )
private

the matrix of covariance 'within class' reflects the dispersion of the events relative to the center of gravity of their own class

Definition at line 351 of file MethodFisher.cxx.

◆ GetDiscrimPower()

void TMVA::MethodFisher::GetDiscrimPower ( void  )
private

computation of discrimination power indicator for each variable small values of "fWith" indicates little compactness of sig & of backgd big values of "fBetw" indicates large separation between sig & backgd

we want signal & backgd classes as compact and separated as possible the discriminating power is then defined as the ration "fBetw/fWith"

Definition at line 528 of file MethodFisher.cxx.

◆ GetFisherCoeff()

void TMVA::MethodFisher::GetFisherCoeff ( void  )
private

Fisher = Sum { [coeff]*[variables] }.

let Xs be the array of the mean values of variables for signal evts let Xb be the array of the mean values of variables for backgd evts let InvWith be the inverse matrix of the 'within class' correlation matrix

then the array of Fisher coefficients is [coeff] =sqrt(fNsig*fNbgd)/fNevt*transpose{Xs-Xb}*InvWith
