Abstract: Discriminant Analysis (DA) is widely applied in many fields. Some recent researches raise the fact that standard DA assumptions, such as a normal distribution of data and equality of the variance-covariance matrices, are not always satisfied. A Mathematical Programming approach (MP) has been frequently used in DA and can be considered a valuable alternative to the classical models of DA. The MP approach provides more flexibility for the process of analysis. The aim of this paper is to address a comparative study in which we analyze the performance of three statistical and some MP methods using linear and nonlinear discriminant functions in two-group classification problems. New classification procedures will be adapted to context of nonlinear discriminant functions. Different applications are used to compare these methods including the Support Vector Machines- (SVMs-) based approach. The findings of this study will be useful in assisting decision-makers to choose the most appropriate model for their decision-making situation.

Predicting the US bank failure: A discriminant analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors trace the US bank failures during the period from 2007 to 2010 to poor investment decisions and large exposure to systemic risk channels, and find that the proportion of illiquid loans and the exposure to the interbank funding markets are the main predictors of bank failures.

TL;DR: This paper considers the membership problem of deciding whether a given polyhedron belongs to the class defined by a parameterized linear system, and shows that the problem is NP-complete, even when restricting to the 2-dimensional plane.
