reviewed Angry Earth: Disaster in Anthropological Perspective on November 02, 2020
Angry Earth
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, I used discriminant analysis quite a bit. It was a helpful method of finding out which variables "discriminated" between two groups. One simple example (Page 5) is the value of this statistical technique to "isolate variables which discriminate among citizens who will vote for Democreats versus Republicans. . . ." Since then, I have come to prefer logistic regression. However, while using this technique I did come to appreciate its value. This book was a useful aid to me as I worked through interpreting results. For those who choose to use discrimnant analysis, this volume--while dated--can be a welcome resource.
