摘要: Data bases sometimes contain a non-random sample from the population of interest. This complicates use extracted knowledge for predictive purposes. We consider specific type biased data that is considerable practical interest, namely partially classified data. typically results when some screening mechanism determines whether correct class particular case known. In credit scoring problem learning such called "reject inference", since label (e.g. good or bad loan) rejected loan applications unknown. show maximum likelihood estimation so mixture models appropriate this data, and discuss an experiment performed on simulated using mixtures normal components. The benefits approach are shown by making comparison with sample-based discriminant analysis. Some directions given how to extend analysis allow non-normal components missing attribute values in order make it suitable "real-life"
