    <p>I am currently looking at the effects of sampling rate and quantization on tumour signals during classification. I get the error 'The pooled covariance matrix of TRAINING must be positive definite.' ONLY when I try to classify the quantised signal (8 bits). If quantizatoin is set to >8 bits, then the codes runs perfectly! </p> <p>I am a little bit confused and would appreciate any assistance anyone may have. </p> <p>My code is as follows: </p> <pre><code> clear all; close all; clc; load('AllSignalsModified.mat') % =================================% % PCA - Feature Extraction % =================================% [cl, pcaAll]= princomp(allSignals); bestFeatures = pcaAll(:,1:100); %==============================% % Decimate allSignals %==============================% nsamp = 100; fs1 = 50e9; N = 2; fs2 = fs1/N; x = allSignals; % iterate thru each tumour signal for i = 1:960, oneRow= allSignals(i,:); downSampleRow(i,:) = oneRow(1:N:end); end; oneSampleRow = downSampleRow(1,:); %==========================================% % Quantisation %==========================================% nbits = 8; for i = 1:960, x = downSampleRow(i,:); x2 = x / max(abs(x)); x3= x2 .* 2^(nbits-1)-1; quantisedSig(i,:) = round(squeeze(x3)); end; % =================================% % LDA Classification % =================================% typeOfTumour(typeOfTumour&lt;=2) = 0; typeOfTumour(typeOfTumour&gt;=3) = 1; testSetResult = classify(quantisedSig,quantisedSig,typeOfTumour,'linear'); testSetResult1 = classify(quantisedSig,quantisedSig,typeOfTumour,'quadratic'); count = 0; for i = 1:960, if(testSetResult(i) == typeOfTumour(i)) count = count + 1; end; end; count1 = 0; for i = 1:960, if(testSetResult1(i) == typeOfTumour(i)) count1 = count1 + 1; end; end; percentageCorrect = (count/960)*100; percentageCorrect1 = (count1/960)*100; display(percentageCorrect); display(percentageCorrect1); </code></pre>

    1. COthis is not really a matlab question - it seems like you are using some special add-on, and the problem arises there. are there no support resources for that add-on?

    2. COFirst of all: why are you using the same data set for training and test? I think your problem is that your training data has too little variance when you have too few 'bins'. Usually you would add some artificial noise in the diagonal of the covariance matrix to avoid that.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
