ypical nonlinear classification problem which is called the XOR
A random data set was generated for the XOR problem, which is
Figure 3.24(b). LDA was applied to this data set. Figure 3.24(c)

It can be seen that the classifier gives nothing, but random

ose two LDAs are placed onto this XOR space, which has four
ts labelled by a, b, c, and d, shown in Figure 3.25(a). These two
e labelled by ߙ and ߚ. They are shown as two straight lines in
