| Abstract: | When a new observation is to be classified into one of several multivariate normal populations with different means and the same covariance matrix, by Rao's method of scoring, the chance of misclassification is expressed as a multiple integral. This paper gives a practical method of obtaining reasonable approximations to this integral by using tables prepared by Gibbons, Olkin & Sobel (1977) for a different task. |
