Create and compare discriminant analysis classifiers, and export trained
models to make predictions for new data.
Understand the steps for supervised learning and the characteristics of nonparametric classification and regression functions.
Categorical response data
Understand the discriminant analysis algorithm and how to fit a discriminant analysis model to data.
Understand the algorithm used to construct discriminant analysis classifiers.
Perform linear and quadratic classification of Fisher iris data.
Examine and improve discriminant analysis model performance.
Make a more robust and simpler model by removing predictors without compromising the predictive power of the model.
Discriminant analysis assumes that the data comes from a Gaussian mixture model. Understand how to examine this assumption.
Understand how predict classifies observations using a discriminant analysis model.
This example shows how to visualize the decision surface for different classification algorithms.
