We study a discriminant direction vector that generally exists only in high-dimension, low sample size settings. Projections of data onto this direction vector take on only two distinct values, one for each class. There exist infinitely many such directions in the subspace generated by the data;...

High-dimension, low-small-sample size datasets have different geometrical properties from those of traditional low-dimensional data. In their asymptotic study regarding increasing dimensionality with a fixed sample size, Hall et al. (2005) showed that each data vector is approximately located on...
