A Correct answer
Explanation

Yes, it is the correct answer. FGENES (Find Genes) is a web-based program that uses linear discriminant analysis (LDA) to determine whether a signal is an exon or not. MZEF (Michael Zhang’s Exon Finder) is a web based program that uses quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA) for exon prediction.
