Comparison of Linear and Quadratic Discriminant Functions

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 ...

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 ...

Getting Started

The data in this example are measurements taken on 159 fish caught off the coast of Finland. The species, weight, three different length measurements, height, and width of each fish are tallied. The ...

TYPE=LINEAR Data Sets

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 ...
