ClassificationDiscriminant
Discriminant analysis classification model.
📝Syntax
mdl = fitcdiscr(X, Y)
label = predict(mdl, Xnew)
[label, score, cost] = predict(mdl, Xnew)
📥Input Arguments
Parameter Description
X numeric matrix: rows are observations and columns are predictors.
Y vector: class labels with one label for each row of X.
Name, Value optional name-value arguments accepted by the corresponding fitting function.
📤Output Arguments
Parameter Description
mdl classification model object returned by the fitting function.
label predicted class labels for new observations.
score class scores or posterior-like values when the model provides them.
📄Description

ClassificationDiscriminant stores a discriminant analysis classifier trained from predictor data and class labels.

Create this object with fitcdiscr. Use predict to classify new observations when the model supports prediction.

💡Examples
Train a discriminant classifier and classify two observations.
X = [0 0; 0 1; 1 0; 5 5; 5 6; 6 5];
Y = [1; 1; 1; 2; 2; 2];
mdl = fitcdiscr(X, Y);
label = predict(mdl, [0.2 0.1; 5.2 5.1])
