Multiple Discriminant Analysis in Labview?

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know how to do Multiple Discrimant Analysis (here is a website explaining it a bit) in Labview? It is supposed to be similar to Principal Components Analysis, which I am already doing. I attach my PCA programs (8.5, Full). That much was easy.

Maybe someone who speaks "math" better than I do could tell me whether the website I mentioned contains all the recipe I need? Labview Full has a built-in covariance function, for what that's worth.

Great! I would like to test it, if you get it working.

Here you go. Based on the Matlab program by Evgeny Krestyannikov that you pointed out to me. The top-level example program is in the folder called tests. Read the documentation for that VI and for its main subVI, and the websites mentioned therein, for hints at how it's supposed to work. Especially, note that data must be sorted by group#.

It's not polished at all. It does seem to work, but I'm a bit over my head here. If a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, then I belong on the FBI's ten most wanted list. I think I'll turn to Partial Least Squares instead, as you suggested.

In case anyone is interested, I translated from Matlab a program to do Partial Least Squares. Here it is. It gives the same result on a test as the original Matlab program, but if that original program were flawed I'd never know it. A little knowledge, dangerous thing, yada yada.

Note: the file-reading part assumes that each class is grouped. All the class 1's come before all the class 0's, or vice versa; and so on for other classes.

Found an error in the termination condition for the creation of the PLS model (should stop if i+1 >= N, not if i >= N). Here's the fix.

I would never set the stop critera as a tolerance, you easily overfit the model. Instead test by crossvalidation or test set the reasonable numbers of PLS-components. Another criterar for max PLS-comp is how many driving forces generate you data or affect the class divisions.
