For any binary classification dataset, let \(S_B \in \mathbb{R}^{d\times d}\)…

For any binary classification dataset, let SB∈Rd×dS_B \in \mathbb{R}^{d\times d} and SW∈Rd×dS_W \in \mathbb{R}^{d\times d} be the between-class and within-class scatter (covariance) matrices, respectively. The Fisher linear discriminant is defined by u∗∈Rdu^* \in \mathbb{R}^d, that maximizes

J(u)=uTSBuuTSWuJ(u)=\frac{u^T S_B u}{u^T S_W u}

If λ=J(u∗)\lambda=J(u^*), SWS_W is non-singular and SB≠0S_B\neq 0, then (u∗,λ)(u^*,\lambda) must satisfy which ONE of the following equations?

Note: R\mathbb{R} denotes the set of real numbers.

  1. A.

    SW−1SBu∗=λu∗S_W^{-1}S_Bu^*=\lambda u^*

  2. B.

    SWu∗=λSBu∗S_Wu^*=\lambda S_Bu^*

  3. C.

    SBSWu∗=λu∗S_BS_Wu^*=\lambda u^*

  4. D.

    (u∗)Tu∗=λ2(u^*)^T u^*=\lambda^2
