Abstract
A new covariance matrix estimator useful for designing classifiers
with limited training data is developed. In experiments, this estimator
achieved higher classification accuracy than the sample covariance
matrix and common covariance matrix estimates. In about half of the
experiments, it achieved higher accuracy than regularized discriminant
analysis, but required much less computation
