Discriminate Function Analysis as a Post-Hoc Operations Research Determinant of Criterion Strength and Binary Decisioning Reliability

Abstract

The objective of this paper remains to demonstrate the utility of discriminant functions in assessing the relationship between those criterion references designated as providing the rationale underlying the, decisions made; that is, to correlate decision sets (solution vectors) with the criteria, and thus measure the relationship of criterion variance in the prediction of solution vector membership.
