topic Proc Discrim in SAS Procedures https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/Proc-Discrim/m-p/23992#M5389 Hello, I using proc discrim for classification purposes.<BR /> When I use method= normal, proc discrim give the classification function (also know as Fisher´s linear discriminant function), and then I can classify new observations into the groups in a paper and pencil way (not need used software to do this).<BR /> <BR /> But when I used method = NPAR (non-parametric) SAS don´t give the fisher function, and it used Kernel or K-Nearest Neighbor, and the I to classify new observations I need to rerun the proc discrim again with the testdata option.<BR /> <BR /> My doubt is: is there other way (manually) to classify news observations using non-parametric method? If so, what is?<BR /> <BR /> I am using NPAR because it result better predictive results than normal.<BR /> <BR /> Sincerely<BR /> <BR /> Edmundo Sat, 07 Jun 2008 12:58:09 GMT deleted_user 2008-06-07T12:58:09Z Proc Discrim https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/Proc-Discrim/m-p/23992#M5389 Hello, I using proc discrim for classification purposes.<BR /> When I use method= normal, proc discrim give the classification function (also know as Fisher´s linear discriminant function), and then I can classify new observations into the groups in a paper and pencil way (not need used software to do this).<BR /> <BR /> But when I used method = NPAR (non-parametric) SAS don´t give the fisher function, and it used Kernel or K-Nearest Neighbor, and the I to classify new observations I need to rerun the proc discrim again with the testdata option.<BR /> <BR /> My doubt is: is there other way (manually) to classify news observations using non-parametric method?
