Discstra: A Computer Program that Computes Bootstrap Resampling Estimates of Descriptive Discriminant Analysis Function and Structure Coefficients and Group Centroids
Program DISCSTRA computes bootstrap estimates of discriminant function analysis function and structure coefficients, and group centroids. The use of the program is illustrated using Fisher's iris data.
