✦ Synopsis
Theoretical accuracies are studied for asymtotic approximations of the expected probabilities of misclassification (EPMC) when the linear discriminant function is used to classify an observation as coming from one of two multivariate normal populations with a common covariance matrix. The asymptotic approximations considered are the ones under the situation where both the sample sizes and the demensionality are large. We give explicit error bounds for asymptotic approximations of EPMC, based on a general approximation result. We also discuss with a method of obtaining asymptotic expansions for EPMC and their error bounds.
