A Graphical Aid to Selection of Variables in Two‐Group Discriminant Analysis

R. J. McKay

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C, 1978, vol. 27, issue 3, 259-263

Abstract: Alternatives to Mallows' (1964) well‐known graphical aid to variable selection in multiple regression have been suggested by Spj⊘tvoll (1977). The purpose of this note is to show that one of the plots proposed by Spj⊘tvoll has a straightforward and meaningful analogue in the corresponding two‐group discriminant analysis. This provides a graphical aid to a simultaneous procedure for variable selection in discriminant analysis proposed by McKay (1976) and also to a less conservative alternative to that procedure suggested by arguments paralleling those of Spj⊘tvoll in the regression context.
