Abstract:
Classification procedures are examined in the case when the dimensionality exceeds the sample size. Two particular suggestions are (i) Principal components analysis and (ii) Two-step discriminant analysis. Comparisons are made in the two sample and the several sample cases. Extensions to growth curve model are investigated using the two stage discriminant analysis.
