The Shrunken Generalized Distance Estimator of the Actual Error Rate in Discriminant Analysis

Neil J. Dorans

Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 1988, vol. 13, issue 1, 63-74

Abstract: A new estimator of the actual error rate for the two-group discriminant problem is presented. The new estimator is based on the concept of a shrunken generalized distance. This new estimator is compared favorably to two modified distance estimators and an estimator developed by Okamoto.
