The linear combinations of independent variables developed by discriminant analysis that will best discriminate between the categories of the dependent variable are _____.
A) discriminant functions
B) discriminant scores
C) characteristic profiles
D) correlation coefficients
E) beta weights

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Discriminant functions are the linear combinations of independent variables that are developed through discriminant analysis to best differentiate between the categories of the dependent variable. The other options (B, C, D, E) are not the correct terms for the specific linear combinations generated by discriminant analysis.
