Enhancing Classification by Combining Discriminant Analysis with a Modified AID Procedure.

Houston, Sam; Schmidt, Stephen R.

Journal of Experimental Education, v56 n1 p28-35 Fall 1987

A modified automatic interaction detector (MAID) was combined with discriminant analysis (DA) to form MAIDDA and to determine whether it might improve classification results over classical DA methods. Application of MAIDDA to the 1983 and 1984 Air Force Academy's graduating classes (N = 3,012) showed that it is a promising clustering technique. (TJH)
