Questions tagged [discriminant-analysis]
Given multivariate data split into several subsamples (classes) the analysis finds linear combinations of variables, called discriminant functions, which discriminate between classes and are uncorrelated. The functions are applied then to assign old or new observations to the classes. Discriminant analysis is both dimensionality reduction and classification technique.

How to devise multicategory classifiers employing linear discriminant functions?
We might reduce the problem to $c$ two-class problems, where the $i^{th}$ problem is solved by a linear discriminant function that separates points assigned to $w_i$ from those not assigned to $w_1$.

Prove GDA decision boundary is linear
My attempt:
(a) I solved that $a=\ln{\frac{P(X|C_0)P(C_0)}{P(X|C_1)P(C_1)}}$
(b) Here is where I'm running into trouble. I'm plugging the distributions into $\ln{\frac{P(X|C_0)P(C_0)}{P(X|C_1)P(C_1)...
