Asymptotic expansions of the distributions of the linear and the quadratic discriminant functions are derived. The expected misclassification probabilities of these two functions are compared when the ...

THE pathological diagnosis of hyaline-membrane disease is made at autopsy in approximately 30 per cent 1 of infants who die in the neonatal period. The characteristic pathological changes are found in ...

Robustness of Fisher's linear discriminant function is evaluated when the distributions of the two populations are characterized by two-component mixed normal distributions with known parameters. The ...

Canonical discriminant analysis is a dimension-reduction technique related to principal component analysis and canonical correlation. Given a classification variable and several interval variables, ...

A TYPE=LINEAR data set contains the coefficients of a linear function of the variables in observations with _TYPE_='LINEAR'. The DISCRIM procedure stores linear discriminant function coefficients in a ...
