A concept of feature informativeness was introduced as a way of measuring the discriminating power of a set of features. A question of interest is how this property of features affects the discrimination performance. The effect is assessed by means of a weighted discriminant function, which distributes weights among features according to their informativeness. The asymptotic normality of the weighted discriminant function is proven and the limiting expressions for the errors are obtained in the growing dimension asymptotic framework, i.e., when the number of features is proportional to the sample size. This makes it possible to establish the optimal in a sense of minimum error probability type of weighting.
