It's possible that neither of these will help, but
(1) you can look at the source code of the predict method
(MASS:::predict.lda)
(2) you can look at the source reference ("Modern Applied Statistics in
S", Venables and Ripley) to see if it gives more information (although
it might not); there's a chance that you can get the information you
need via a google books search

Hi.
I have successfully performed the discriminant analysis with the lda
function, I can classify new individuals with the predict function, but I
cannot figure out how the lda results translate into the classification
decision. That is, I don't realize how the classification equation for new
individuals is constructed from the lda output. I want to understand it but
also, I need to communicate it and provide a mechanism for other colleagues
to make classifications with their data.
Thank you very much,
Fernando
