Discrimination Rules
- Maximum likelihood: Assigns x to the group that maximizes population (group) density.
- Bayes Discriminant Rule: Assigns x to the group that maximizes, where represents the prior probability of that classification, and πi represents the population density.
- Fisher’s linear discriminant rule: Maximizes the ratio between SSbetween and SSwithin, and finds a linear combination of the predictors to predict group.

Famous quotes containing the word rules:
“... a large portion of success is derived from flexibility. It is all very well to have principles, rules of behavior concerning right and wrong. But it is quite as essential to know when to forget as when to use them.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
