Hi ADE users
I'm a new user of R and this is the first time I adopt discriminant
analysis. I'm using the ade4 package to distinguish treatments with
three repetitions, from which color was measured based in 3 variable (L,
a and b). I also analysed data in Systat 9.0 and results were different
from that of R, mainly in ellipse size that was larger in Systat. My
doubt is if this ellipse is a confidence interval, how to control its
significance? I tried to change cellipse in s.class function, so that
with value 6, the result was similar to that from Systat. But I think
that the value must be calculated to provide the confidence ellipse.
Then, I don't know what is correct. Please, could someone help me about
this questions?
Best Regards!
