description

The paper is concerned with the problem of classifying a specific group into two populations (insect eggs of the same clutch belonging therefore to the same species). Two approaches, one parametric and the other non-parametric, are described. The classical likelihood ratio procedure is derived. An interpretation and a decomposition of the test criteria is given. A misclassification estimate using the Chernoff–Kullback–Kailath region is provided.
