DISCRIMINANT ANALYSIS OF LOGICAL RELATIONS

Discriminant analysis is a method to relate whether the objects have a specific characteristic or not with their 'continuous' attribute values and, for given objects, to estimate whether they have a specific characteristic or not by their values of discriminant scores gotten from their attribute values. The author developed the new 'computational' method of discriminant analysis without specific hypotheses or assumptions and, by this new method, we can find 'feasible' solutions under the conditions required by our actual problems. In this paper, the author tried to apply this new method to the discrimination of logical relations. If this trial could be a success, we can apply this new method of discriminant analysis to the problems about relating the specific characteristic of the objects with their 'discrete' attribute values. The result was successful and the applicability of discriminant analysis could be expanded as a method for constructing the models for "estimating impressions".
