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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
