The Shrunken Generalized Distance Estimator of the Actual Error Rate in Discriminant Analysis.

Dorans, Neil J.

Journal of Educational Statistics, v13 n1 p63-74 Spr 1988

A new estimator of the actual error rate for the two-group discriminant problem is presented. The new estimator is based on the concept of a shrunken generalized distance. This new estimator is compared favorably to two modified distance estimators and an estimator developed by M. Okamato. Four figures are included. (Author/TJH)
