Peer reviewedMorris, John D.; Huberty, Carl J. – Journal of Experimental Education, 1995
A method is presented for extending full versus restricted model testing to predictive discriminant analysis when the criterion of model accuracy is classification hit rate. An example is presented involving the dropout or school persistence of 76 5th graders, and a computer program for the analysis is introduced. (SLD)
