Interval estimates for posterior probabilities in a multivariate normal classification model
This paper is devoted to the asymptotic distribution of estimators for the posterior probability that a p-dimensional observation vector originates from one of k normal distributions with identical covariance matrices. The estimators are based on training samples for the k distributions involved. Observation vector and prior probabilities are regarded as given constants. The validity of various estimators and approximate confidence intervals is investigated by simulation experiments.
