Optimal discriminant analysis (ODA) is a new paradigm in the general statistical analysis of data, which explicitly maximizes the accuracy achieved by a model for every statistical analysis, in the context of exact distribution theory. This paper reviews optimal
analogues of traditional statistical methods, as well as new special-purpose models for which no conventional alternatives exist.
Author’s Note: This paper reviews initial discoveries of the ODA paradigm. Here is a current review: https://odajournal.com/2017/04/18/what-is-optimal-data-analysis/
