Dear Allstaters,
Thanks very much to those who replied to my query:
"does anyone know where I can find the proof, if any, that the use of
the binary logistic regression or the discriminant function gives the same
results if the two groups have a normal distribution?"
Summary of some of the replies are listed below.

normal discriminant analysis.

discriminant analysis.
