Part one – Introduction to discriminant analysis
In this video we introduce the procedure and show how to configure it in IBM SPSS Statistics. In this initial run, we go through each of the output tables and explain how to interpret them and assess if the statistical assumptions have been met before finally evaluating the level of accuracy in the predictions.
