Tabular maximum likelihood classifier

Description

Maximum likelihood is a common classifier used for land use classification. It calculates the likelihood of an object to belong to each class based on an expected distribution and a metric of distance.

Details

The most common implementation, like in this package, will assume normal distributed variables within classes, and calculate the distance, based on Mahalanobis distance.
