Covariance Adjustments in Discrimination of Mixed Discrete and Continuous Variables

Journal of Multivariate Analysis, 1999, vol. 71, issue 1, 111-124

Abstract: Sufficient conditions are given to ensure a better performance of the plug-in version of the covariates adjusted location linear discriminant function in an asymptotic comparison of the overall expected error rate. Our findings generalize several earlier results on discriminant function with covariance.
