ABSTRACT

Fit is an important factor for consumers engaged into wearing unisex ready-made trousers. This study demonstrates how discriminant analysis can be used to improve the standard sizing system of ready-made trousers in Nigeria. To achieve this, the researcher obtained data from a primary source on seven (7) anthropometric measurements used in sewing trousers which arc Waist, Hip, Length, Lap, Knee, Flap and base on a random sample size of (400) four hundred students (200 male and 200 female) of Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike. The data was further grouped into three (3) different sizes (small, large, medium) on the basis of their existing standard sizing system. The assumptions underlying a discriminant analysis were justified and it was found out that the research data showed the case of unequal covariance matrices, which was used to derive the quadratic classification rule. The result of the analysis showed that about 3% of the sizes sampled were misclassified but when the derived classification function was evaluated it correctly classified about 97% of the sizes under study. Recommendations were made based on the findings of this research.
