Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Discriminant analysis is not primarily focused on predicting the level of the dependent variable when the independent variable is changed. Its main objectives are to determine linear combinations of predictor variables to separate groups, develop procedures for assigning new objects, testing whether significant differences exist between the groups, and determining the variables that explain the intergroup differences.
