The Final Step in the Interpretation of Discriminant Analysis Results

question 26

Multiple Choice

The final step in the interpretation of discriminant analysis results is to:

• A) Determine the extent to which group differences support the functions generated by reviewing group variance for each function as presented in the table of Functions at Group centroids.
• B) Determine the extent to which group differences support the functions generated by reviewing group means for each function as presented in the table of Functions at Group centroids.
• C) Determine the extent to which groups support the functions generated by reviewing group means for each function as presented in the table of Functions at Group centroids.
• D) Determine the extent to which groups support the functions generated by reviewing group variance for each function as presented in the table of Functions at Group centroids.
