Hello
Can someone explain to me the diffrence between using the function "discrim" and the function "lda".
I have a dataset with 6 variables (C1, C2, ..., C6) and two groups (rn, nrn). I wante to select the variable among the 6 which influence the distinguishing between groups and estimate a linear discriminant function. We use the function lda but we don't find how to derive the : THE F test , Wilks'Lambda for each variable ,Box's M,

Eigenvalues,Canonical Correlation. Can someone tel me how we can derive the later statistics. 
lda(cat ~ C1 + C2 + C3 + C4 + C5 + C6,capital0507)
Call:
lda(cat ~ C1 + C2 + C3 + C4 + C5 + C6, capital0507)

Prior probabilities of groups:
       nrn        rn
 0.5666667 0.4333333
Group means:
           C1        C2       C3        C4        C5       C6
nrn  7.399927  6.036379  7.98493  51.35301 1193.4665 116.0307
 rn 13.621632 11.400917 11.05705 115.84029  883.8169 142.2850
Coefficients of linear discriminants:
            LD1
C1    0.... 
C2 -0.121145033
C3    0.930160061  
C4 -0.014831134
C5 -0.002151158
C6 -0.056120761
thank you in advance
