LDA assumes with prior probabilities and
where the class means may differ but the nonsingular covariance matrix is common. Bayes' rule chooses the class maximizing . Cancelling terms common to every class gives the discriminant
The boundary between classes and is , an affine hyperplane with normal . Hence the Bayes rule is a linear classifier.
