Hello,

I need help regarding the assumptions of DA. Usually, multivariate
normality and equality of covariance matrices are stated, but
regarding Fisher's approach I found mentioned that the only assumption
is the equality of covariance matrices between groups.

Does multivariate normality play any role in Fisher's DA?

Thank you.
