Abstract
Discriminant Analysis (DA) is a statistical tool that can predict the group membership of a newly sampled observation. Sueyoshi (European Journal of Operational Research, 115 (1999) 564; 131 (2001) 324; 152 (2004) 45) and Sueyoshi and Kirihara (International Journal of Systems Science, 29 (1998) 1249) have recently proposed a new type of nonparametric DA approach that provides a set of weights of a linear discriminant function, consequently yielding an evaluation score for the determination of group membership. The nonparametric DA is referred to as "Data Envelopment Analysis-Discriminant Analysis (DEA-DA)," because it maintains its discriminant capabilities by incorporating the nonparametric feature of DEA into DA. In this study, a use of two statistical tests is proposed for DEA-DA and its discriminant capability is compared with DEA from a perspective of financial analysis.
