Abstract
Linear discriminant rules for two symmetrical distributions, which only need the first and second moments of these distributions, are presented. The rules are based on Zhezhel's idea using the most unfavourable probabilities of misclassification as an optimality criterion. Also a rule is considered which deals with distributions differing in a location and scale parameter.
