Classical discriminant analysis (DA) is based on the mean and empirical covariance matrix of each class, both of which are sensitive to outliers in the data. In the past the focus was on casewise outliers, that is, datapoints that lie far…
Linear and Quadratic Discriminant Analysis are well-known classical methods but can heavily suffer from non-Gaussian distributions and/or contaminated datasets, mainly because of the underlying Gaussian assumption that is not robust. To…
