Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Mahalanobis distance is a quadratic descriminant function which can reognize handprinted characters
in high accuracy by approximating the destribution of each principal component with normal distribution. In recognition
of a low quality character, however, such approximation is difficult. In this paper, we improve the recognition
accuracy by extracting some components with large skewness from principal components of middle class and applying
the asymmetric partial normal distribution. We experimented in character recognition for 1052 types of letters
of a hiragana and an educational chinese character. As a result, it is found that a recognition accuracy is improved
about 10 points, and that our proposed method is useful for recognization of low quality handprinted characters.
