Question

1-

As one of the statistics associated with discriminant analysis, the ________ for each predictor is the ratio of the within-group sum of squares to the total sum of squares. Its value varies between 0 and 1.

a		Wilks' λ
b		discriminant scores
c		discriminant function coefficients
d		eigenvalue

2-

Which of the following statements is not an objective of discriminant analysis?

a		examination of whether significant differences exist among the groups, in terms of the dependent variables
b		determination of which independent variables contribute to most of the intergroup differences
c		classification of cases to one of the groups based on the values of the predictor variables
d		evaluation of the accuracy of classification or hit ratio

Answer 1

(1) By defination of Wilks' λ, it is the ratio of ratio of the within-group sum of squares to the total sum of squares. Its value varies between 0 and 1.

So, correct answer is option A

(2) All the given options are objective except the first option

First option is incorrect because the objective of discriminant analysis is the examination of whether significant differences exist among the groups, in terms of the independent variables, but not for dependent variable as mentioned in the question

So, option A is answer
