Abstract

Discriminant analysis is a method used in separating objects into different groups and allocating objects into a predetermined group. Discriminant analysis is bound by the assumption that the mean vector for each group is different, the data is normally distributed multivariate and the covariance variance matrix between groups is the same. If there is a covariance variance matrix between different groups, then quadratic discriminant analysis is used for the classification process. However, sometimes it is found that data contains outliers, so a robust estimator is used, namely the Minimun Covariance Determinant with the fast-MCD algorithm. Therefore, robust quadratic discriminant analysis can be used to classify 128 villages and 48 sub-districts in Wajo district. It was found that 106 villages were correctly classified into village groups and 22 villages were misclassified into sub-district groups and 35 sub-districts were correctly classified as sub-district groups and 13 sub-districts were misclassified into village groups and produced an accuracy of classification results of 80.11%.
