The bootstrap estimate of model prediction bias is more precise than jackknife estimates with linear models such as linear discriminant function or multiple regression.
12.
Of these the crucial deciding factors were plant height and canopy cover when the nest sites were compared with the random sites ( discriminant function analysis ).
13.
He added that the IRS had repeatedly retained outside consultants to test newer statistical techniques, but had never found one as reliable as its method of discriminant function.
14.
Canonical discriminant functions separated 4 putative Engelmann spruce populations from the fifth putative Engelmann spruce population, and from the allopatric and sympatric white spruce and sympatric putative hybrid populations.
15.
It then devised a statistical formula _ known as the " dif score, " for discriminant function _ and focused on taxpayers who deviated the most from the norms.
16.
"Dif " is IRS-speak for a statistical technique called discriminant function, which divides returns into those likely to produce more tax money after an audit and those the IRS will ignore.
17.
Early work on statistical classification was undertaken by Fisher, in the context of two-group problems, leading to Fisher's linear discriminant function as the rule for assigning a group to a new observation.

:: Apparently if you score a few variables of the intertubercular sulcus, specifically the angle of medial wall, angle of lateral wall and presence of the supratubercular Meyer, then you can correctly classify handedness with 89 % accuracy by discriminant function analysis.

McKim et al . and Bradbury et al . used compounds known to be narcotics, and with a discriminant function analysis Bradbury et al . and colleagues identified two separate narcosis syndromes, I and II, which correspond to nonpolar and polar narcotics, respectively.

Ahler ( 1989 ) conducted an experimental replication under some technological settings and classified debitage into five groups according to their size, Discriminant analysis ( by SPSS DISCRIMINANT function ) was applied to compare mass analysis data sets for these five experimental data groups.
