Linear Discriminant Analysis: Loss of Discriminating Power When a Variate is Omitted

An estimate for the loss of the classification power when a single variate is excluded from the linear discriminant function is given. A criterion is proposed for the omission of a variate without an ...

Some Linear Transformations for Mixtures of Binary and Continuous Variables, with Particular Reference to Linear Discriminant Analysis

Suitable linear transformations for preliminary data analysis are available when data consist solely of continuous variables or solely of binary variables. When mixtures of variables are observed, ...

Application of linear discriminant analysis to the biochemical and haematological differentiation of opiate addicts from healthy subjects: a case–control study

Objective: Biochemical and haematological parameters of nutritional interest were determined in the serum of opiate addicts in order to compare them with those obtained in healthy subjects. Linear ...

Patch-wise low-dimensional probabilistic linear discriminant analysis for Face Recognition

Abstract: The paper introduces a novel approach to face recognition based on the recently proposed low-dimensional probabilistic linear discriminant analysis (LD-PLDA). The proposed approach is ...

Prognosis in Hyaline-Membrane Disease — Use of a Linear-Discriminant

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 ...

A method of finding linear discriminant functions for a class of performance criteria

Abstract: In many systems for pattern recognition or automatic decision making, decisions are based on the value of a discriminant function, a real-valued function of several observed or measured ...
