Abstract

Linear discriminant analysis is a statistical technique that allows for investigation of differences between two or more groups on several variables, or sets of variables, at the same time. Specifically, discriminant analysis allows for (a) predicting group membership based on a set of independent variables or (b) determining how predictors best differentiate groups. Discriminant analysis assumes that group membership is mutually exclusive and the predictor variables are independent.
