Abstract

It may be necessary in biostatistics to discriminate between individuals and groups. The discriminant analysis is used for this purpose. The discriminant procedure has been programmed for microcomputers. The program has been written in a generic BASIC in order to make the procedure user-friendly. To have such a software package implemented on a personal computer may greatly facilitate the use of this complex analysis in biomedicine.
