DiscriminantAnalysis.PriorType Property

DiscriminantAnalysisPriorType Property

The type of prior probabilities to be calculated.

Namespace: Imsl.Stat
Assembly: ImslCS (in ImslCS.dll) Version: 6.5.2.0

Syntax

public DiscriminantAnalysisPriorProbabilities PriorType { get; set; }

Public Property PriorType As DiscriminantAnalysisPriorProbabilities
	Get
	Set

public:
property DiscriminantAnalysisPriorProbabilities PriorType {
	DiscriminantAnalysisPriorProbabilities get ();
	void set (DiscriminantAnalysisPriorProbabilities value);
}

member PriorType : DiscriminantAnalysisPriorProbabilities with get, set

Property Value

Type: DiscriminantAnalysisPriorProbabilities
Indicates the type of prior probabilities to be calculated.

Default: PriorType = PriorProbabilities.Equal.

Remarks

Use PriorProbabilities.Equal to set equal prior probabilities, calculated as 1.0/nGroups. Or, use PriorProbabilities.Proportional to calculate the priors to be proportional to the sample size in each group. The sum of all prior probabilities is equal to 1.0. If the values calculated for the priors are less than 1.0e-20, they will be converted to the Math.Log(1.0e-20). Prior probabilities are used in calculating statistics, coefficients, Mahalanobis, and classification probabilities.
