R help - Sep 2011 - R-Help

Hi, my name is Gastón. I just read a question, made by Walter Durka, about a
nonparametric discriminant analysis. It wasn´t any answer, and I was
wondering if at this moment there is one. I have the same problem as W.
Durka.  I´m trying to classify and to cross-validate samples of three
tunicates species based on morphometric data and to identify the variables
that best discriminate between species.
Thanks for help.

Kind regards!

Gaston:

There are many ways to do this, but I think this is mostly a question about
statistics, not about R. Once you have decided *what* you want to do, then
you can search in R for tools to do it. So I would suggest you post your
question on a statistics site, like http://stats.stackexchange.com/  .
Better yet by far is to collaborate with a local statistician.

Cheers,
Bert

"Men by nature long to get on to the ultimate truths, and will often be
impatient with elementary studies or fight shy of them. If it were possible
to reach the ultimate truths without the elementary studies usually prefixed
to them, these would not be preparatory studies but superfluous
diversions."

-- Maimonides (1135-1204)
