partialF {multiDimBio}

A function to compute partial F statistics

Description

This is an internal function used in FSelect. It can only be used for two groups. The partial F statistic is the additional contribution to the model from adding one more trait.

Usage

partialF(m.lda, GROUP, T_pm1)

Arguments

m.lda

An object of class 'lda'

GROUP

A factor vector indicating group membership

T_pm1

The F statistic calculated for a discriminant analysis with only the most informative trait.

Value

Returns a partial F statistic
