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 ...

LDA is based on the extraction of linear discriminant functions of the independent variables by means of a qualitative dependent variable and several quantitative independent variables.

Linear discriminant analysis is typically carried out using Fisher's method. This method relies on the sample averages and covariance matrices computed from the different groups constituting the ...

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 ...
