The DISCRIM Procedure

Examples

The iris data published by Fisher (1936) are widely used for examples in discriminant analysis and cluster analysis. The sepal length, sepal width, petal length, and petal width are measured in millimeters on fifty iris specimens from each of three species, Iris setosa, I. versicolor, and I. virginica. The iris data are used in Example 23.1 through Example 23.3.

Example 23.4 and Example 23.5 use remote-sensing data on crops. In this data set, the observations are grouped into five crops: clover, corn, cotton, soybeans, and sugar beets. Four measures called X1 through X4 make up the descriptive variables.
