Linear Discriminant Analysis (descriptive statistic)

Description

performs a linear discriminant analysis.

Usage

discrimin(dudi, fac, scannf = TRUE, nf = 2)
## S3 method for class 'discrimin':
plot(x, xax = 1, yax = 2, ...) 
## S3 method for class 'discrimin':
print(x, ...)

Arguments


dudi a duality diagram, object of class dudi
fac a factor defining the classes of discriminant analysis
scannf a logical value indicating whether the eigenvalues bar plot should be displayed
nf if scannf FALSE, an integer indicating the number of kept axes
x an object of class 'discrimin'
xax the column number of the x-axis
yax the column number of the y-axis
... further arguments passed to or from other methods

Value

returns a list of class 'discrimin' containing :
nf a numeric value indicating the number of kept axes
eig a numeric vector with all the eigenvalues
fa a matrix with the loadings: the canonical weights
li a data frame which gives the canonical scores
va a matrix which gives the cosines between the variables and the canonical scores
cp a matrix which gives the cosines between the components and the canonical scores
gc a data frame which gives the class scores
