摘要
Two separate structure discovery properties of Fisher's LDF are derived in a mixture multivariate normal setting. One of the properties is related to Fisher information and is proved by using Stein's identity. The other property is on lack of unimodality. The properties are used to give three selection rules for choice of informative projections of high-dimensional data, not necessarily multivariate normal. Their usefulness in the two group-classification problem is studied theoretically and by means of examples. Extensions and various issues about practical implementation are discussed.
