A brief discussion of the literature concerned with the
two-population discrimination problem is presented and several
procedures based on the likelihood ratio for discrimination
between negative exponentially distributed populations
are proposed. The small sample and asymptotic performance of
these procedures is compared with that of non-oarametric
procedures and the classical linear discriminant function.
Some guidelines for the use of the procedures discussed are
presented.
