PG - 427-38 AB - This study presents an application of linear programming discriminant analysis (LPDA) to classify and to predict the symptomatic status of HIV/AIDS patients. We applied LPDA as well as several traditional discriminant analysis methods to the AIDS Cost and Services Utilization Survey data set in order to demonstrate the use of LPDA to classify the symptomatic status of HIV/AIDS patients. The potential benefit of LPDA in terms of the classification accuracy was also analyzed.
