The Two Kinds of Linear Discriminant Functions and Their Relationship.

Green, Bert F.

Journal of Educational Statistics, v4 n3 p247-63 Fall 1979

Fisher's two-group discriminant function has been generalized in two different ways for the case of three or more groups, leading to confusion in the literature. The precise functional relation between the two functions is derived, and the interpretation of the two functions is discussed. An example is provided. (Author/CTM)
