Abstract

This paper evaluates the use of several known simultaneous confidence interval methods for the automated recognition of handwritten digits from data in a well-known handwriting database. Contained in this database are handwritten digits, 0 through 9, that were obtained from 42,000 participants' writing samples. The objective of the analyses is to utilize statistical testing procedures that can be easily automated by a computer to recognize which digit was written by a subject. The methodologies discussed in this paper are designed to be sensitive to Type I errors and will control an overall measure of these errors, called the Familywise Error Rate. The procedures were constructed based off of a training portion of the data set, then applied and validated on the remaining testing portion of the data.
