In this paper, we suggest the new variable selection procedure, called MEC, for linear discriminant rule in the high dimensional and large sample setup. MEC is derived as a second-order unbiased estimator of the misclassification error probability of the linear discriminant rule (LDR). It is...

The problem of classifying a new observation vector into one of the two known groups distributed as multivariate normal with common covariance matrix is considered. In this paper, we handle the situation that the dimension, p, of the observation vectors is less than the total number, N, of...
