By means of a case study the choice between several methods of discriminant analysis is presented. Experimental data of a two-groups problem with one or two variables is analysed. The different methods are compared according to posterior probabilities which can be computed for each subject and which are the basis of discriminant analysis. These posterior probabilities are analysed graphically as well as numerically.
