how to get discriminant loadings in multiple discriminant analysis by using SPSS?
SPSS is reporting canonical discrimant function coefficient. Are these refer to discriminant loadings ?
what is the difference between discrimant function coefficient and loading?
thanks in advance
Dear Srikanth,
you to export the model information file and open the .xml with a text editor. The open is in the "Save ..."-dialog of the diskriminant analysis. You can find all loadings and values there, even those not reported in the SPSS output. In case, you are using the syntax, specify the following parameter for the output:
/OUTFILE=MODEL('mymodel.xml')
Best regards,
Wolfgang
Dear Srikanth, thank you for your question.
A discriminant function is a model or equation generated in Discriminant analysis for differentiating or discriminating between the groups or classes given from the original variables. The discriminating functions will subsequently produce the coefficients and discriminant scores as desired.
Like in factor factor analysis, the factor functions or models are used to produce coefficients and factor scores. The difference in factor analysis is that the most correlated groups are grouped together whereas in discriminant analysis, the different groups are being differentiated.
