Discriminant Function Analysis - Discrimination Rules

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.
