5M – Quadratic Discriminant Function Analysis

Quadratic Discriminant Function Analysis using BMDP Statistical Software Program 5M

5M performs both linear and quadratic discriminant function analysis based on two or more groups for selected variables within the groups.

• Linear and quadratic classification functions
• Uniform, proportions and user-specified prior probabilities
• Test of homogeneity of within-groups covariance
• Pairwise test of equality of group means
• Pairwise Mahalanobis’ distance between group means
• Posterior probabilities and coefficients for linear and quadratic discriminant analysis
