Discriminant Functions Are

question 29

Multiple Choice

Discriminant functions are:

• A) Linear combinations of the original (predictor) variables that maximize the between-to-within association, as measured by the sum-of-squares and cross-products (SSCP) matrices.
• B) Uncorrelated linear combinations of the original (predictor) variables that maximize the between-to-within association, as measured by the sum-of-squares and cross-products (SSCP) matrices.
• C) Correlated linear combinations of the original (predictor) variables that maximize the between-to-within association, as measured by the sum-of-squares and cross-products (SSCP) matrices.
• D) Uncorrelated linear combinations of the original dependent variables that maximize the between-to-within association, as measured by the sum-of-squares and cross-products (SSCP) matrices.
