Question:

Exercise 12.9.7. Let y be an observation from one of two normal populations that have means of μ1 and μ2 and common covariance matrix Σ . Define λ  = (μ1−

μ2)Σ −1.

(a) Show that, under linear discrimination, y is allocated to population 1 if and only if

λ y−λ  1 2

(μ1+μ2) > 0.

(b) Show that if y is from population 1, E(λ y)−λ  1 2

(μ1+μ2) > 0 and if y is from population 2, E(λ y)−λ  1 2

(μ1+μ2) < 0.
