title: Two methods of discrimination on qualitative variables.
abstract: The methods of discrimination on qualitative variables are generally based on the estimation of density distribution in each group yk (k = 1, 2, ..., K). Two kinds of estimation are proposed and the correspondent computer program is presented. The results of a medical example are compared with those obtained by using a logistic model used by different authors when dealing with discrimination problems.
