Abstract: A new approach to discriminant analysis based on projection pursuit density estimation is proposed. Projections are chosen to minimize estimates of the expected overall loss in each projection pursuit stage. Different strategies in the procedure concerning the choice of univariate density estimates and bandwidths used to estimate the function of interest in the minimization step to fix the direction [ alpha ] and to update the discriminant rule and the estimates of the densities are discussed. Cross-validation techniques are used to avoid overfitting effects. In a simulation study several variants of the procedure are compared with discriminant rules based on normality assumptions and nonparametric classification procedures.
