What is the statistical methodology in calculating discriminator value?

Answer 1

1). The term “discriminant value” refers to the value that determines the variables that discriminate between more than two groups. It is used in the research to determine such variables. For example, if a researcher wants to determine the variables that discriminate between the school children who decide to attend a professional school or start a business in the future, the researcher can collect the data on various variables prior to completion of their schooling. After completion of schooling, the students will fall into one of the two categories studied. Then the discriminant analysis is used to determine the variables that predicted the educational choice of students.
