Sammanfattning

The exact distribution of a classification function is often complicated to allow for easy numerical calculations of misclassification errors. The use of expansions is one way of dealing with this difficulty. In this paper, approximate probabilities of misclassification of the maximum likelihood-based discriminant function are established via an Edgeworth-type expansion based on the standard normal distribution for discriminating between two multivariate normal populations.
