The jackknife procedure for the probabilities of misclassification

Abstract

Seven estimators for the probabilities of misclassifi-cation associated with the linear discriminant function are considered. Four of them are known in the literature. The remaining three are constructed through the Jackknife Pro-cedure. An empirical investigation is conducted to evalu-ate the relative merits of these estimators. Summary of the results is presented.
