Definition(s)

  • Discriminant analysis is a multivariate statistical technique that can be used to predict group membership from a set of predictor variables. The goal of discriminant analysis is to find optimal combinations of predictor variables, called discriminant functions, to maximally separate previously defined groups and make the best possible predictions about group membership.
