The Midge Classification Problem
Author: COMAP
Background:
Two species of midges, Af and Apf, have been identified by biologists Grogan and Wirth [1981] on the basis of antenna and wing length. Each of nine Af midges is denoted by “square”, and each of six Apf midges is denoted by “circle”. It is important to be able to classify a specimen as Af or Apf, given the antenna and wing length.
