Classification toolbox for MATLAB

The Classification toolbox for MATLAB is a collection of MATLAB modules for calculating classification (supervised pattern recognition) multivariate models: Discriminant Analysis, Partial Least Square Discriminant Analysis (PLSDA), Classification trees (CART), K-Nearest Neighbors (kNN), class modeling Potential Functions (Kernel Density Estimators), Support Vector Machines (SVM), Unequal class models (UNEQ), Soft Independent Modeling of Class Analogy (SIMCA), Random Forest (RF) and Backpropagation Neural Networks (BPNN).

This is the version 7.0 of the Classification toolbox for MATLAB

Classification toolbox for MATLAB has been released by Milano Chemometrics and QSAR research Group. Visit our website at www.michem.unimib.it

INSTALLING THE TOOLBOX

MATLAB should be installed, while the Statistics Toolbox is needed to compute some of the classification methods (Discriminant Analysis and CART). In order to install the toolbox, simply copy the files to a folder (e.g. "Classification toolbox for MATLAB"). Then, in order to use it, select the same folder as MATLAB current directory.

STARTING CALCULATIONS

Before starting calculations, please read the HELP files provided in HTML format. A complete guide on how to calculate models is provided.

HELP FILES

Help files are provided in HTML format. Open the help.htm file in your favourite browser and read it!

CONDITIONS

The toolbox is freeware and may be used if proper reference is given to the authors. Preferably refer to the following paper: Ballabio D, Consonni V, (2013) Classification tools in chemistry. Part 1: Linear models. PLS-DA. Analytical methods (2013), 5, 3790-3798
