Journal of Multivariate Analysis, 2005, vol. 96, issue 2, 219-236

Abstract: The limit behavior of the conditional probability of error of linear and quadratic discriminant analyses is studied under wide assumptions on the class conditional distributions. Results obtained may help to explain analytically the behavior in applications of linear and quadratic discrimination techniques.
