Marginal A Posteriori Modes

Consider the data X and the label Y .

We want to "optimize" :

The Bayes estimator consists in minimizing a Bayes risk defined by :

where R(Y, Y') is a cost function.

The cost function of the Marginal A Posteriori Modes estimator is given by :

This estimator minimize the number of misclassified pixels.

The solution which minimize the Bayes risk is given by :

It is obtained using a sampling algorithm ( Metropolis , Gibbs Sampler , ...)
