Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: Optimal Discriminant Analysis (ODA) is a machine learning algorithm that was introduced over 25 years ago to offer an alternative analytic approach to conventional statistical methods commonly used in research (Yarnold & Soltysik 1991). Its appeal lies in its simplicity, flexibility and accuracy as compared with conventional statistical methods (Yarnold & Soltysik 2005, 2016). oda is a wrapper program for the Optimal Discriminant Analysis (ODA) software (Yarnold & Soltysik 2005, 2016). Therefore, ODA must be installed in order for the oda Stata package to work. ODA software is available at https://odajournal.com/resources/
