Discrimination between two classes comprises receiving a set of frames including an input signal and determining at least two different feature vectors for each of the frames. Discrimination between two classes further comprises classifying the two different feature vectors using sets of preclassifiers trained for at least two classes of events and from that classification, and determining values for at least one weighting factor. Discrimination between two classes still further comprises calculating a combined feature vector for each of the received frames by applying the weighting factor to the feature vectors and classifying the combined feature vector for each of the frames by using a set of classifiers trained for at least two classes of events.
