Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In discriminant analysis, both the absolute magnitude of the standardized discriminant function coefficients and the structure correlations (also known as canonical or discriminant loadings) provide insights into the relative importance of the variables. The standardized coefficients offer a direct comparison of variable importance, while the structure correlations indicate how well each variable correlates with the discriminant function.
