Pattern Recognition
A pattern is the opposite of chaos. It is an entity, vaguely defined, that could be given a name, such as human face, fingerprint image, handwritten word and so on. A pattern is an abstract object, such as a set of measurements describing a physical object. Pattern recognition is the study of how machines can:
- Observe the environment
- Learn to distinguish patterns of interest
- Make reasonable decisions about the categories of patterns
Bayesian Decision Theory
Bayes Formula:posterior = likelihood * prior / evidence
Bayes Rule
Probability of Error:判定为某一类别的错误率 = 1 - 该类别的概率
Bayes Risk
Given observation x, if the true state is omiga, and we take action alpha, then loss is lambda.

Hunger: 贝叶斯决策理论是根据贝叶斯公式求似然概率,作为类别判断的依据。考虑决策代价是将误判的代价乘以真实状况的概率
