Abstract

Combining classifiers by majority voting (MV) has recently emerged as an effective way of improving performance of individual classifiers. However, the usefulness of applying MV is not always observed and is subject to distribution of classification outputs in a multiple classifier system (MCS). Evaluation of MV errors (MVE) for all combinations of classifiers in MCS is a complex process of exponential complexity. Reduction of this complexity can be achieved provided the explicit relationship between MVE and any other less complex function operating on classifier outputs is found. Diversity measures operating on binary classification outputs (correct/incorrect) are studied in this paper as potential candidates for such functions. Their correlation with MVE, interpreted as the quality of a measure, is thoroughly investigated using artificial and real-world datasets. Moreover, we propose new diversity measure efficiently exploiting information coming from the whole MCS, rather than its part, for which it is applied.
