Abstract
If no large design data set is available to design the Multiple classifier system, one typically uses the same data set to
design both the expert classifiers and the fusion rule. In that case, the experts form an optimistically biased training data
for a fusion rule designer. We consider standard Fisher linear and Euclidean distance classifiers used as experts and the
single layer perceptron as a fusion rule. Original bias correction terms of experts’ answers are derived for these two types
of expert classifiers under assumptions of high-variate Gaussian distributions. In addition, noise injection as a more universal
technique is presented. Experiments with specially designed artificial Gaussian and real-world medical data showed that the
theoretical bias correction works well in the case of high-variate artificial data and the noise injection technique is more
preferable in the real-world problems.
