S ummary This paper consists of a case study in the use of different methods of Discriminant analysis. Methods used include Fisher's Linear discriminant function, various modifications of this technique, Logistic discrimination and Kernel methods using jack‐knife maximum likelihood. These methods are applied on two sets of data. Their success is compared using the proportions misclassified, estimated by the “leaving‐one‐out” method where possible.
