title: Discriminant analysis: methods and program.
abstract: Because of the disparity in the results obtained using different methods of discriminant analysis, we have written and used a unique program to test them. These methods can be divided into two groups corresponding to a classical probabilistic approach (i.e., Bayesian methods) or a topological approach (i.e., Sebestyen method).
