N2 - Diversity plays an important role in the design of Multi-Classifier Systems, but its relationship to classification accuracy is still unclear from a theoretical perspective. As a step towards the solution of this probelm, we take a different route and explore the relationship between diversity and correlation. In this paper we provide a theoretical analysis and present a nonlinear function that relates diversity to correlation, which hence can be further related to accuracy. This paper contributes to connecting existing research in diversity and correlation, and also providing a proxy to the relationship between diversity and accuracy. Our experimental results reveal deeper insights into the role of diversity in Multi-Classifier Systems.
