Tutorial Explains Linear and Quadratic Discriminant Analysis Methods

This tutorial delves into Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA), fundamental classification methods in statistical learning. It explores the optimization of decision boundaries and derives LDA and QDA for binary and multiple classes, including parameter estimation. The paper also connects these methods to concepts like metric learning, kernel principal component analysis, and logistic regression, proving their equivalence to Fisher discriminant analysis and illustrating theoretical points with simulations.
