DATA CLASSIFICATION USING THE MAHALANOBIS—TAGUCHI SYSTEM

Abstract

ABSTRACT The Mahalanobis-Taguchi System (MTS) is a pattern information technology developed by Dr. Taguchi. This technology is aimed at providing a better prediction for multivariate data through the construction of a multivariate measurement scale. In this study, two sets of data are analyzed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the MTS. Implementation results reveal that the MTS outperforms traditional discriminant analysis methods. In addition, several important issues regarding the MTS are summarized in the conclusion section.
