  • Discriminant Analysis
    Chapter 5 Discriminant Analysis This chapter considers discriminant analysis: given p measurements w, we want to correctly classify w into one of G groups or populations. The max- imum likelihood, Bayesian, and Fisher’s discriminant rules are used to show why methods like linear and quadratic discriminant analysis can work well for a wide variety of group distributions. 5.1 Introduction Definition 5.1. In supervised classification, there are G known groups and m test cases to be classified. Each test case is assigned to exactly one group based on its measurements wi. Suppose there are G populations or groups or classes where G 2. Assume ≥ that for each population there is a probability density function (pdf) fj(z) where z is a p 1 vector and j =1,...,G. Hence if the random vector x comes × from population j, then x has pdf fj (z). Assume that there is a random sam- ple of nj cases x1,j,..., xnj ,j for each group. Let (xj , Sj ) denote the sample mean and covariance matrix for each group. Let wi be a new p 1 (observed) random vector from one of the G groups, but the group is unknown.× Usually there are many wi, and discriminant analysis (DA) or classification attempts to allocate the wi to the correct groups. The w1,..., wm are known as the test data. Let πk = the (prior) probability that a randomly selected case wi belongs to the kth group. If x1,1..., xnG,G are a random sample of cases from G the collection of G populations, thenπ ˆk = nk/n where n = i=1 ni.

  • The Diamond Method of Factoring a Quadratic Equation
    The Diamond Method of Factoring a Quadratic Equation Important: Remember that the first step in any factoring is to look at each term and factor out the greatest common factor. For example: 3x2 + 6x + 12 = 3(x2 + 2x + 4) AND 5x2 + 10x = 5x(x + 2) If the leading coefficient is negative, always factor out the negative. For example: -2x2 - x + 1 = -1(2x2 + x - 1) = -(2x2 + x - 1) Using the Diamond Method: Example 1 2 Factor 2x + 11x + 15 using the Diamond Method. +30 Step 1: Multiply the coefficient of the x2 term (+2) and the constant (+15) and place this product (+30) in the top quarter of a large “X.” Step 2: Place the coefficient of the middle term in the bottom quarter of the +11 “X.” (+11) Step 3: List all factors of the number in the top quarter of the “X.” +30 (+1)(+30) (-1)(-30) (+2)(+15) (-2)(-15) (+3)(+10) (-3)(-10) (+5)(+6) (-5)(-6) +30 Step 4: Identify the two factors whose sum gives the number in the bottom quarter of the “x.” (5 ∙ 6 = 30 and 5 + 6 = 11) and place these factors in +5 +6 the left and right quarters of the “X” (order is not important). +11 Step 5: Break the middle term of the original trinomial into the sum of two terms formed using the right and left quarters of the “X.” That is, write the first term of the original equation, 2x2 , then write 11x as + 5x + 6x (the num bers from the “X”), and finally write the last term of the original equation, +15 , to get the following 4-term polynomial: 2x2 + 11x + 15 = 2x2 + 5x + 6x + 15 Step 6: Factor by Grouping: Group the first two terms together and the last two terms together.

  • Solving Cubic Polynomials
    Solving Cubic Polynomials 1.1 The general solution to the quadratic equation There are four steps to finding the zeroes of a quadratic polynomial. 1. First divide by the leading term, making the polynomial monic. a 2. Then, given x2 + a x + a , substitute x = y − 1 to obtain an equation without the linear term. 1 0 2 (This is the \depressed" equation.) 3. Solve then for y as a square root. (Remember to use both signs of the square root.) a 4. Once this is done, recover x using the fact that x = y − 1 . 2 For example, let's solve 2x2 + 7x − 15 = 0: First, we divide both sides by 2 to create an equation with leading term equal to one: 7 15 x2 + x − = 0: 2 2 a 7 Then replace x by x = y − 1 = y − to obtain: 2 4 169 y2 = 16 Solve for y: 13 13 y = or − 4 4 Then, solving back for x, we have 3 x = or − 5: 2 This method is equivalent to \completing the square" and is the steps taken in developing the much- memorized quadratic formula. For example, if the original equation is our \high school quadratic" ax2 + bx + c = 0 then the first step creates the equation b c x2 + x + = 0: a a b We then write x = y − and obtain, after simplifying, 2a b2 − 4ac y2 − = 0 4a2 so that p b2 − 4ac y = ± 2a and so p b b2 − 4ac x = − ± : 2a 2a 1 The solutions to this quadratic depend heavily on the value of b2 − 4ac.

  • Quadratic Equations Through History
    Cal McKeever & Robert Bettinger COMMON CORE STANDARD 3B Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties of the quantity represented by the expression. Factor a quadratic expression to reveal the zeros of the function it defines. Complete the square in a quadratic expression to reveal the maximum or minimum value of the function it defines. SYNOPSIS At a summit of time-traveling historical mathematicians, attendees from Ancient Babylon pose the question of how to solve quadratic equations. Their method of completing the square serves their purposes, but there was far more to be done with this complex equation. Pythagoras, Euclid, Brahmagupta, Bhaskara II, Al-Khwarizmi and Descartes join the discussion, each pointing out their contributions to the contemporary understanding of solving quadratics through the quadratic formula. Through their discussion, the historical situation through which we understand the solving of quadratic equations is highlighted, showing the complex history of this formula taught everywhere. As the target audience for this project is high school students, the different characters of the script use language and symbolism that is anachronistic but will help the the students to understand the concepts that are discussed. For example, Diophantus did not use a,b,c in his actual texts but his fictional character in the the given script does explain his method of solving quadratics using contemporary notation. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The problem of solving quadratic equations dates back to Babylonia in the 2nd Millennium BC. The Babylonian understanding of quadratics was used geometrically, to solve questions of area with real-world solutions.
