In the discriminant analysis model,the coefficients,or weights (b),are estimated so that the groups differ as much as possible on the values of the discriminant function.This occurs when the ratio of between-group sum of squares to within-group sum of squares for the discriminant scores is at a maximum.

Question

This is true. The goal of discriminant analysis is to maximize the separation between groups on the discriminant function, which is achieved by maximizing the ratio of between-group sum of squares to within-group sum of squares for the discriminant scores.
