This course will cover statistical approaches to dimension reduction using principal components and factor analysis, and classification using discriminant functions. The first part will outline the ...

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 ...

A simple discriminant function in four variates (area of mill, average number of cigarettes currently smoked per day, a complex of dyspnoea, cough, and wheezing grades, and occupation) was derived to ...

This provides evidence that discriminant function analysis can be utilized as a decision support system for interpretation of flow cytometry readouts.
