Marriott (1971, Biometrics 27, 501-514) used a heuristic argument to derive the criterion g2 l W I for determining number of groups in data set when clustering objective function is withingroup determinant 1. An analogous employed use with within-group sum-of-squares trace (W). The behaviour both Marriott's and new investigated by Monte Carlo methods. For homogeneous based on uniform independent variables, performance close expectation while shows much more extreme behaviour. grouped data,...

SUMMARY Currently popular techniques such as experimental spectroscopy and computer-aided molecular modelling lead to data having very many variables observed on each of relatively few individuals. A common objective is discrimination between two or more groups, but the direct application standard discriminant methodology fails because singularity covariance matrices. The problem has been circumvented in past by prior selection a transformed variables, using either principal component...

Abstract The likelihood ratio classification rule is derived from the location model, applicable when data contains both binary and continuous variables. A method proposed for estimating in practical situations assessing its performance. Losses incurred by estimation procedure are investigated, use of Fisher's linear discriminant function on such studied case known population parameters. Finally, applied to some sets, performance compared with that other rules.

SUMMARY This paper describes a form of cross-validation, in the context principal component analysis, which has number useful aspects as regards multivariate data inspection and description. Topics covered include choice dimensionality, identification influential observations, selection important variables. The methods are motivated by illustrated on well-known set. 1. Data Set Objectives Jeffers (1967) described two detailed case studies, one concerned 19 variables measured each 40 winged...

Abstract A review is given of the published work on performance Fisher's linear discriminant function when underlying assumptions are violated. Some new results presented for case classification using both binary and continuous variables, conditions success or failure investigated. KEY WORDS: Linear functionError ratesLocation model

The additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) model has been proposed for the analysis of genotype–environmental data. For plant breeding, recovery pattern might be considered to principal objective analysis. However, some problems still remain with analysis, notably in selecting number components model. Methods based on distributional assumptions do not have a sound methodological basis, while existing data‐based approaches optimize cross‐validation process. This paper...

A general form of the location model is considered for mixed continuous and categorical variables observed in a number different populations, some special cases practical interest are cited. The distance between any two populations derived each these models. Estimation parameters measures discussed, methods illustrated by application to previously published data.

The Mahalanobis distance is shown to be an appropriate measure of between two elliptic distributions having different locations but a common shape. This extends result long familiar in multivariate analysis class nonnormal distributions. It can also used show that the sample version under both estimative and predictive approaches estimation for family normal differing only location.

Abstract Texture features are designed to quantitatively evaluate patterns of spatial distribution image pixels for purposes analysis and interpretation. Unexplained variations in the texture often lead misinterpretation undesirable consequences medical analysis.

SUMMARY A nested series of hypotheses on dispersion structure is identified when observations are grouped in a multivariate sample. simple method estimation suggested for one these hypotheses, and results using this compared with those previously obtained by maximum likelihood methods. Using an analogy may be drawn between comparison principal components groups regressions groups.

SUMMARY Many data sets in practice fit a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) structure but are not consonant with MANOVA assumptions. One particular such set from economics is described. This has 24 factorial design eight variables measured on each individual, the application seems inadvisable given highly skewed nature data. To establish basis for analysis, we examine distance matrices presence priori grouping units and show how total squared among can be partitioned according to...
