Event Selection Using an Extended Fisher Discriminant Method
Abstract
Description
This note discusses the problem of choosing between hypotheses in a situation with many, correlated non-normal variables. A new method is introduced to shrink the many variables into a smaller subset of variables with zero mean, unit variance, and zero correlation coefficient between variables. These new variables are well suited to use in a neural net.
