✦ Synopsis

Optimal classification formulation is adapted to the context of discrimination when the response is ordinal. The resulting method, optimal discriminant analysis for ordinal responses (ODAO), is presented and compared with two reference discrimination techniques used in this context (proportional-odds ordinal logistic regression and normal discrimination) using a study of prognosis following burn injuries and simulated data. The ODAO method clearly outperforms both reference methods in terms of classification accuracy (in training and validation samples), robustness to outliers, simplicity of use and applicability in clinical settings. ODAO is a promising method for improving classification performance in discrimination with ordinal responses and merits further investigation.

## Abstract Most of the available response‐adaptive designs in phase III clinical trial set up are not from any optimal consideration. An optimal design for binary responses is given by Rosenberger et al. (2001) and an optimal design for continuous responses is provided by Biswas and Mandal (2004).

Response surface methodology can be used to construct global and midrange approximations to functions in structural optimization. Since structural optimization requires expensive function evaluations, it is important to construct accurate function approximations so that rapid convergence may be achi

Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is an effective tool in multivariate multigroup data analysis. A standard technique for LDA is to project the data from a high-dimensional space onto a perceivable subspace such that the data can be separated by visual inspection. The criterion of LDA, unfortunatel
