There has been increasing attention to semi-supervised learning (SSL) approaches in machine learning to forming a classifier in situations where the training data consists of some feature vectors that have their class labels missing. In this study, we consider the generative model approach proposed by Ahfock McLachlan(2020) who introduced a framework with a missingness mechanism for the missing labels of the unclassified features. In the case of two multivariate normal classes with a common covariance matrix, they showed that the error rate of the estimated Bayes' rule formed by this SSL approach can actually have lower error rate than the one that could be formed from a completely classified sample. In this study we consider this rather surprising result in cases where there may be more than two normal classes with not necessarily common covariance matrices.
