Discriminant Analysis Set Value dialog box
To select cases for your analysis, in the main dialog box click Select, choose a
selection variable, and click Value to enter an integer as the selection value. Only cases
with that value for the selection variable are used to derive the discriminant functions.
Statistics and classification results are generated for both selected and unselected
cases. This provides a mechanism for classifying new cases based on previously
existing data or for partitioning your data into training and testing subsets to perform
validation on the model generated.
