I am switching from SPSS-Windows to R-Linux. My university is very SPSS-oriented so maybe that's the cause of my problems. I am a beginner in R and my assignments are SPSS-oriented, so I hope I don't annoy anyone with my questions...
Right now I've got 2 problems:
-I have to evaluate discriminant functions I have calculated with lda(MASS). I can't find a measure that evaluates their significance (Wilk's lambda in my textbook (Stevens,(2002),"Applied multivariate statistics for the social sciences")and in SPSS). Is there a Wilk's lambda for discriminant functions in R? or can I use an alternative measure? or am I thinking in the wrong direction? I have searched the help-archive to find similar questions to mine but no answer to them.
-My second problem: to check the assumption of multivariate homoscedasticity I have to test if the variance-covariance matrices for my variables are homogene. My textbook suggests Box's M test. I can't find this statistic in R. Again I have found similar questions in the help-archives, but no answers. Is there a way to calculate Box's M in R? Or is there an alternative way to check for multivariate homoscedasticity?
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers, Janke ten Holt
