Discriminant Analysis Select Cases

To select cases for your analysis:

1. In the Discriminant Analysis dialog box, choose a selection variable.
2. Click Value to enter an integer as the selection value.

Only cases with the specified value for the selection variable are used to derive the discriminant functions. Statistics and classification results are generated for both selected and unselected cases. This process provides a mechanism for classifying new cases based on previously existing data or for partitioning your data into training and testing subsets to perform validation on the model generated.
