Sufficient conditions are given to ensure a better performance of the plug-in version of the covariates adjusted location linear discriminant function in an asymptotic comparison of the overall expected error rate. Our findings generalize several earlier results on discriminant function with covariance.

A new method for the choice of variables with the greatest discriminatory power in the location model for mixed variable discriminant analpis is presented in the paper. The procedure based on ' the multivariate discriminatory measure enables a simultaneous reduction of the number of discrete and con
