In this paper, parametric and empirical likelihood functions or surfaces are compared. In particular, first- and second-order expansions for log likelihood functions are developed in nonparametric and ...

Asymptotic expansions of the distributions of the linear and the quadratic discriminant functions are derived. The expected misclassification probabilities of these two functions are compared when the ...
