In other words, $P(\hat{y} | \bx) \! > \! \delta$, where $\delta \in (0, 1)$ is a threshold that controls the precision and recall of the classifier. In general, the higher the threshold $\delta$, the lower the recall and the higher the precision. -In this work, we use the mixture of Gaussians model for skeleton recognition. Skeleton measurements are represented by a vector $\bx$ and each person is assigned to one class $y$. To verify that our approach is suitable for skeleton recognition, we plot for each skeleton feature $x_k$ (Section~\ref{sec:experiment}) the histogram of differences between the feature and its expectation $(\bar{\bx}_y)_k$ in the corresponding class $y$ (Figure~\ref{fig:marginals}). All histograms look approximately normal. This indicates that all class conditionals $P(\bx | y)$ are multivariate normal and our generative model, although very simple, may be nearly optimal \cite{bishop06pattern}. +In this work, we use the mixture of Gaussians model for skeleton recognition. Skeleton measurements are represented by a vector $\bx$ and each person is assigned to one class $y$. In particlar, our dataset $\cD = \set{(\bx_1, y_1), \dots, (\bx_n, y_n)}$ consists of $n$ pairs $(\bx_i, y_i)$, where $y_i$ is the label of the skeleton $\bx_i$. To verify that our method is suitable for skeleton recognition, we plot for each skeleton feature $x_k$ (Section~\ref{sec:experiment}) the histogram of differences between all measurements and the expectation given the class $(\bx_i)_k - \E{}{x_k | y_i}$ (Figure~\ref{fig:error marginals}). All histograms look approximately normal.
