Linear Discriminant Analysis: Loss of Discriminating Power When a Variate is Omitted

An estimate for the loss of the classification power when a single variate is excluded from the linear discriminant function is given. A criterion is proposed for the omission of a variate without an ...

Application of linear discriminant analysis to the biochemical and haematological differentiation of opiate addicts from healthy subjects: a case–control study

Objective: Biochemical and haematological parameters of nutritional interest were determined in the serum of opiate addicts in order to compare them with those obtained in healthy subjects. Linear ...

Some Linear Transformations for Mixtures of Binary and Continuous Variables, with Particular Reference to Linear Discriminant Analysis

Suitable linear transformations for preliminary data analysis are available when data consist solely of continuous variables or solely of binary variables. When mixtures of variables are observed, ...

Diagnostic ability of a linear discriminant function for optic nerve head parameters measured with optical coherence tomography for perimetric glaucoma

To calculate and validate a linear discriminant function (LDF) for optical coherence tomography (OCT) to improve the diagnostic ability of isolated optic nerve head (ONH) parameters to discriminate ...
