Discriminant analysis primarily focuses on determining which variables discriminate between two or more naturally occurring groups, classifying cases into these groups, and evaluating the accuracy of the classification. It does not directly aim to examine if significant differences exist among the groups in terms of criterion variables; this is more the objective of variance analysis (ANOVA).
