Hi Alejo,

According to my knowledge the two plots are different because in the
first one a point belongs to a group depending on its group in the data
whereas in the second plot a point belongs to the group predicted by the
linear discriminant analysis.

I hope somebody will correct me if I am wrong.

Hi Alain, this is the code:


library(MASS)
library(mda)


#data attached, first column "G3" group membership

X <- read.table("data", header=T)

lda_analysis <- lda(formula(X), data=X)

plot(lda_analysis, col=palette()[X$G3])

#the above plot is completely different to:

plot(predict(lda_analysis)$x, type="n")
text(predict(lda_analysis)$x, labels=predict(lda_analysis)$class, col=palette()[predict(lda_analysis)$class])

The above code only reproduce the first plot using predict to obtain coordinates and classes for the first tow discriminant axis.

Thanks ,

Alejo
