Discriminant Analysis for Repeated Measures Data: Effects of Mean and Covariance Misspecification on Bias and Error in Discriminant Function Coefficients

Abstract

Discriminant analysis (DA) procedures based on parsimonious mean and/or covariance structures have been proposed for repeated measures (RM) data. Bias and means square error of discriminant function coefficients (DFCs) for DA procedures are investigated when the mean and/or covariance structures are correctly specified and misspecified.
