Abstract

In this paper, we propose an absolute classification algorithm in which the class definition through training samples or otherwise, is required only for a particular class of interest. The absolute classification is considered as a problem of unsupervised clustering with initially one known cluster. The definitions and statistics of the other classes are automatically developed through the weighted unsupervised clustering procedure which is developed to keep the cluster corresponding to the "class of interest" from losing its identity as fhe "class of interest". Once all the classes are developed, conventional relative classifier such as the maximum likelihood classifier is used in the classification.
