A system and method of classifying an occupant in a seat. The system can include a plurality of sensors, and each sensor can be configured to produce an output related to a weight of an object in a seat of the vehicle. A controller can be configured to receive the output of each of the sensors when an occupant is in the seat, and perform a maximum likelihood ratio test to provide a signal indicative of the classification of the occupant. The maximum likelihood ratio test can incorporate the output of each sensor relating to the occupant, and can further incorporate data sets related to the outputs of each of the sensors in response to a plurality of test cases, for a specific class of occupants.
