In this paper we present a new type of binary classifier defined on the unit cube. This classifier combines some of the aspects of the standard methods that have been used in the logical analysis of data (LAD) and geometric classifiers, with a nearest-neighbor paradigm. We assess the predictive performance of the new classifier in learning from a sample, obtaining generalization error bounds th...

A rapid, sensitive two-site immunometric assay for human lutropin (LH), with two monoclonal antibodies directed against the beta subunit, has been developed with time-resolved fluorescence as the detection principle. The cross-reactivities with human thyrotropin and human follitropin are negligible and that with human choriogonadotropin is 1% in the standard two-step protocol. Free beta subunit...
