Abstract
Chapter 4 introduces the reader to a wide variety of approaches to the problem of classification. The first section develops an optimal classifier, the Bayes classifier. Viewing classification methods as approximations of the Bayes classifier provides a common theme uniting the practical classification algorithms described in later sections.
