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.

1. Efron B. (1975). The efficiency of logistic regression compared to
normal discriminant analysis.

2. Press SJ, Wilson S. (1978). Choosing between logistic regression and
discriminant analysis.
