rtest.discrimin function

Monte-Carlo Test on a Discriminant Analysis (in R).

Test of the sum of a discriminant analysis eigenvalues (divided by the rank). Non parametric version of the Pillai's test. It authorizes any weighting.

## S3 method for class 'discrimin'
rtest(xtest, nrepet = 99, ...)

Arguments

• xtest: an object of class discrimin
• nrepet: the number of permutations
• ...: further arguments passed to or from other methods

Returns

returns a list of class rtest

rand1
#Monte-Carlo test
