This thesis covers misclassification probabilities via an Edgeworth-type expansion of the maximum likelihood based discriminant function. When deriving misclassification errors, first the expectation and variance in the population are assumed to be known where the variance is the same across populations and thereafter we consider the case where those parameters are unknown. Cumulants of the discriminant function for discriminating between two multivariate normal populations are derived. Approximate probabilities of the misclassification errors are established via an Edgeworth-type expansion using a standard normal distribution.
