The performance of the new probabilistic classification method CLASSY is evaluated on three different data sets, together with its predecessors SIMCA and ALLOC. The improvement made over ALLOC is only marginal, whereas CLASSY shows better predictive ability and greater reliability than SIMCA in most

β¦ Synopsis
The new probabilistic versions of SIMCA and CLASSY described in Part 1 are evaluated. Their classification performance is found to be generally better than those of the old versions. The results are also compared with those of the ALLOC and SLDA classification methods. General over-confident behaviour of the new SIMCA and CLASSY methods as well as ALLOC and SLDA is noted for two of the three data sets investigated (Iris and two wine data sets).

One of the disadvantages of SIMCA pattern recognition is its inability to produce probabilistic classifications. Attempts to correct this involve distributional assumptions. It appears that SIMCA can handle the residual error terms efficiently, but that inside the class model subspace a crude trunca
As part of a critical evaluation of the pattern recognition method SIMCA, three data sets containing pyrolysis mass spectra from bacteria were analysed using the SIMCA classifier. Each set consisted of two classes, Pseudomonas and Serratia bacteria, each class containing ten mass spectra and each ma
