### How to Use Maximum a Posteriori Probability (MAP) in Classification Task

I will try to give you some intuition into it by a different example. Think we have 3 machines which can generate the numbers 1, 2, 3. The first machine generates the number 1 with 80% and the ...

### If a K-NN ($k$ Nearest Neighbors) Algorithm Performs Very Well for Low $k$, Can Something Be Inferred About the Data Set?

If the result is consistent with a large test set than it means your training data is dense and well define the degrees of freedom of the problem. If the training set was small it means there is a ...

### System classification: unit-time delay

You are right that a distributed system could be "something like a transmission line". Note that the system $$y(t)=x(t-T)\tag{1}$$ is a simple model of a transmission line, where just a frequency-...

### Need critical help: How to detect and distinguish two very similar looking signals?

As Conrad pointed out, a correlator is probably your best bet. The correlation of a signal with itself (also known as its self-similarity) is larger than its correlation with any other signal (except ...

### Feature extraction for sound classification

Non-verbal Audio (let alone environmental) seems to be the little brother to main stream machine learning media types like images, speech, text. To answer your question is it possible to train a ...

### Classifying 2 Classes of Ultrasound Signal Using Machine Learning by Frequency Domain

One simple way is to create a feature set based on the energy on the different frequency bins. If the case above is representative, even "small guns" (Linear classifiers) will solve this. ...

### What Kind of Features Can I Extract from a Signal

Hello I will be brief and I hope you understand, due to the shape of your signal I think it is best treated with wavelet transform base HAAR, the reason for using this transform is that it will give a ...

### MFCC feature vector from wav file

Have a look at these two python libraries that provide a number of audio features easily from WAV files, including MFCC. Librosa: MFCC docs, github Madmom: MFCC docs, github Good luck!

### Upsampling vs downsampling. Which to use when?

You should use the one you need for your problem, when you know which components of your signal are of interest to you. Let's say you have in your electronic editing an ADC digitizing 40M samples per ...

### Audio classification without deep learning

From what you've mentioned it looks like the task is for environmental sound event detection. I think that the best starting point for you is to check the DCASE challenge (Detection and Classification ...

### How is this system nonlinear

A linear system means that the system's output should scale with the input, and the system's output should combine given two inputs. Look at the scaling property, you scale the input and this results ...

### What are characteristics of shadows in an image given an outdoor setting from an image processing point of view?

The edges of the shadows are crisper where they are nearer to the shadow caster. Also, since the sun is so far away, beams of light are essentially parallel when they reach us, which means that ...
