Monte-Carlo Test on a Discriminant Analysis (in R).

rtest.discrimin.Rd

Test of the sum of a discriminant analysis eigenvalues (divided by the rank). Non parametric version of the Pillai's test. It authorizes any weighting.

Usage

# S3 method for discrimin
rtest(xtest, nrepet = 99, ...)

Arguments

xtest

an object of class discrimin

nrepet

the number of permutations

...

further arguments passed to or from other methods

Value

returns a list of class rtest
