In mvMORPH: Multivariate Comparative Tools for Fitting Evolutionary Models to Morphometric Data

Discriminant Function Analysis (DFA) - also called Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) or Canonical Variate Analysis (CVA) - based on multivariate GLS (or OLS) model fit

Description

Performs a discriminant analysis (DFA) on a regularized variance-covariance matrix obtained using either the mvgls or mvols function.

Usage

mvgls.dfa(object, ...)

Arguments

object	A model fit obtained by the mvgls or the mvols function.
...	Options to be passed through. (e.g., term="the term corresponding to the factor of interest", type="I" for the type of decomposition of the hypothesis matrix (see also manova.gls) , etc.)

Details

mvgls.dfa allows computing a discriminant analysis based on GLS (or OLS) estimates from a regression model (see mvgls and mvols). Discriminant functions can be used for dimensionality reduction, to follow up a MANOVA analysis to describe group separation, or for group prediction.

Value

a list with the following components

coeffs	a matrix containing the raw discriminants
coeffs.std	a matrix containing the standardized discriminants
scores	a matrix containing the discriminant scores [residuals X coeffs]
residuals	the centered [with GLS or OLS] response variables
H	the hypothesis (or between group model matrix)
E	the error (or residual model matrix)
rank	the rank of HE^-1
pct	the percentage of the discriminant functions

Note

Still in development, may not handle special designs.
