Abstract

This chapter is devoted to the same problems as Chapter 3, but for the situations where no parametric model of probability distributions is known and nonparametric decision rules (Rosenblatt-Parzen, k-nearest neighbor) are used for classification. We find optimal values for smoothness parameters that optimize the robustness factor. We compare stability of parametric and nonparametric decision rules.
