| Discriminant analysis (in marketing) | In marketing, discriminant analysis is a statistical technique for analyzing data. It is applicable when there is only one dependent variable but multiple independent variables (similar to ANOVA and regression analysis). But unlike ANOVA and regression analysis, the dependent variable must be categorical. It is similar to factor analysis in that both look for underlying dimensions in responses given to questions about product attributes. But it differs from factor analysis in that it builds these underlying dimensions based on differences rather than similarities. Discriminant analysis is also different from factor analysis in that it is not an interdependence technique : a distinction between independent variables and dependent variables (also called criterion variables) must be made.

| Discriminant of an algebraic number field | In mathematics, the discriminant of an algebraic number field is a numerical invariant containing information about ramified primes. (references) | ||
| Linear discriminant analysis | Linear discriminant analysis (LDA), is sometimes referred to as Fisher's linear discriminant (although Fisher's original article The Use of Multiple Measures in Taxonomic Problems (1936) actually describes a slightly different discriminant, which does not make some of the assumptions of LDA such as normally distributed classes or equal class covariances). It is typically used as a feature extraction step before classification. (references) | ||

| Discriminant analysis | Environment | A type of multivariate analysis used to distinguish between two groups. (references) | |
| Discriminant analysis | Health | A statistical analytic technique used with discrete dependent variables, concerned with separating sets of observed values and allocating new values. It is sometimes used instead of regression analysis. (references) | |
| Discriminant analysis | Space | A general term to describe a process that assigns an unknown observation to one of two or more groups based on some property of the observation. (references) | |
| Discriminant analysis | Statistics | A term used to describe the statistical methods used in problems of classification. Given that an individual may belong to one of a number of population, such analyzes allocate it to the correct population with minimum error, generally on the basis of multiple measurements of the individual and a prior set of similar measurements on individuals whose origin is known.
