Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wilks' λ is the ratio of the within-group sum of squares to the total sum of squares and is used as a statistic in discriminant analysis. Its value ranges from 0 to 1, with lower values indicating better discrimination between groups. Choice B (discriminant scores) and C (discriminant function coefficients) are also related to discriminant analysis, but do not specifically pertain to the statistic in question. Choice D (eigenvalue) may be relevant in other contexts, but is not directly connected to discriminant analysis or the given statistic.
