Abstract:
One or more machine learning classifiers are trained to classify cases in one or more categories using one or more sets of labeled training data. A first distribution of scores for positive cases in the training set is determined for each category, and a second distribution of scores for negative cases in the training set is determined for each category. A third distribution of scores is generated by each classifier classifying cases in a set of target data is also determined. A proportion of cases in the target set that are positive cases for a category is estimated by fitting the first distribution and the second distribution for the category to the third distribution.
