Abstract：We study the asymptotic results of linear discriminant analysis (LDA) in large dimensional data where the observation dimension , is of the same order of magnitude as the sample size. Roughly, we know when, LDA is an“good”classifier which means the empirical misclassification error tends to the theoretical one and if, we should pay some price for estimating the means and covariance matrix. In this work, we study the dimensionality effects of the regularized LDA (RLDA). As a special case, the explicit theoretical results about dimensionality effects in LDA is derived. In details, we get the asymptotic distribution of the misclassification error using recent results in random matrix theory. Based on these results, a scale adjusted classifier will be suggested to handle data with un-equal sample sizes and the theoretical results on the tuning parameter is derived under mild conditions.
