Class Density
Class density, referring to the concentration of data points within each class of a dataset, is a crucial factor influencing the performance of machine learning models, particularly in scenarios with imbalanced class distributions. Current research focuses on developing methods to accurately estimate and leverage class density information, employing techniques like probabilistic neural networks with skewed kernels and spectral clustering algorithms, to improve model training and prediction accuracy. This research is significant because addressing class density issues directly enhances the reliability and generalizability of machine learning models across various applications, including medical risk prediction and anomaly detection, leading to more robust and accurate results.
