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

A problem frequently encountered by the practitioner in Discriminant Analysis is how to select the best variables. In mixed discriminant analysis (MDA), i.e., discriminant analysis with both continuous and discrete variables, the problem is more di cult because of the di erent nature of the variable
A robust method of selecting variables with the greatest discriminatory power is presented in the paper. It is based on the robustified Wilks A statistic and can be applied in a multi-group discrimination problem. An application to some respiratory disease data together with a comparison of the clas
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 covaria
