Linear and Quadratic Discriminant Analysis with covariance ellipsoid

This example plots the covariance ellipsoids of each class and decision boundary learned by LDA and QDA. The ellipsoids display the double standard deviation for each class. With LDA, the standard deviation is the same for all the classes, while each class has its own standard deviation with QDA.
