Two linkable computer programs have been developed for a special case of nonlinear discriminant analysis. Here the discriminant formula is nonlinear because joint normal distributions are postulated, but not equal covariance matrices (abbr. CV-matrices). This generalization seems to be important to

β¦ Synopsis
One of the aims of discriminant analysis is the allocation of unknown entities to populations that are known a priori. Consider k populations. Let X denote the vector of observations on an experimental unit, whose origin is uncertain. For the general parametric case, a test is proposed to verify the hypothesis that X is coming from a new population. The case of normal population with equal variance is fully derived.

With an increasing number of patients being treated with botulinum toxin A (BTX A), the incidence of neutralizing anti-BTX antibodies (ABA) is rising. Because BTX A is known to inhibit sweating, sudometry seems to be a promising tool to test the efficacy of BTX A. We injected BTX A subcutaneously in
