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.

“[O]ur rules can have authority over such natural rights only as we have submitted to them. The rights of conscience we never submitted, we could not submit. We are answerable for them to our God.”
