A PC program for unbiased and predictive linear and quadratic discriminant analysis.
Discriminant analysis plays an important role in biological and medical research. The most popular methods of discrimination in practical applications are parametric methods like linear and quadratic discriminant analysis. However, there exist modifications of these approaches, namely unbiased and predictive discriminant analysis, which lead to reduced error rates in certain situations. In this paper a menu-driven, user-friendly PC program written in Borland Pascal 7.0 is introduced which performs unbiased and predictive linear and quadratic discriminant analysis.
