Abstract

A novel linear discriminant criterion function is proved to be equal to Fisher's criterion function. The analysis of the function is linked to spectral decomposition of the Laplacian of a graph. Moreover, the function is maximized using two algorithms. Experimental results show the effectiveness and some specific characteristics of our algorithms.
