Abstract

AbstractBecause many pattern recognition techniques are predicated on the assumption of mutivariate normal data, Monte Carlo simulation studies were performed to determine the number of samples that are necessary to describe a multivariate normal population adequately. From these studies we have learned that hundreds of samples are required. These results suggest that parametric procedures should only be used to analyze very large data sets.
