Admissible Discriminant Analysis
Lloyd D. Fisher, John W. Van Ness · Journal of the American Statistical Association · 1973
Since it is usually impossible to determine a “best” discriminant analysis, admissible discriminant analyses are suggested. Let A denote some property which should be satisfied by any reasonable procedure either in general or when used in a special application. Any procedure which satisifies A is called A-admissible. Seven admissibility conditions are defined and ten discriminant algorithms are compared with them.
