General Discriminant Analysis (GDA) Models Syntax Editor - Keywords Tab

Select the Keywords tab of the General Discriminant Analysis (GDA) Models Syntax Editor dialog to access the options described here. Use these options to enter command syntax to completely specify the analysis, as well as various parameters that are used in the computations. The available keywords can be typed directly into the Analysis syntax edit field, or entered by clicking on the respective buttons to insert them in the Analysis syntax edit field, at the current location of the cursor.

Note: GDA, GRM and GLM syntax conventions. The GDA syntax conventions are essentially identical to the GLM syntax conventions and the GRM syntax conventions (see General Linear Models (GLM), and General Regression Models (GRM), with only a few additions and omissions relating to the specification of the categorical dependent variable (for discriminant analyses). For details about most model building syntax, you can refer to the GRM syntax conventions. Note that the Generalized Linear/Nonlinear Models (GLZ) and General Partial Least Squares Models (PLS) modules also use similar syntax, with sets of additional keywords (options) that are specific to those particular applications.

Keywords
A variety of Keyword options are available. Click the respective Keyword buttons to insert the corresponding keyword into the Analysis syntax edit field at the current location of the cursor.

Most of the links below will take you to the description of the respective keywords in the context of the GLM syntax or GRM syntax. Those keywords that are unique to GDA, or have a different "meaning" in the context of GDA, are shown in italics. For more details on the syntax for a specific keyword, click on that keyword below.
