Abstract:- Failure to transform to normality before classification affects probabilities of misclassification while comparing the distribution of errors of misclassification. A uniformly distributed random variable generated by a varied and repeated method was employed to generate the errors of misclassification for normal and Edgeworth Series Distributions. The proposed method was proved and on the basis of this, an algorithm was developed. There is a non linear dependence of the total probabilities of misclassification on the skewness factor. It was observed that there is a disordered relationship between the probabilities of misclassication for normal and Edgeworth Series Distributions.
