[R] Fisher's discriminant functions

[Leonardo Lami]

Hi,
I have the same problem.
I found a solution but I think there is something of more simple and correct.

I take a group and I put 0 the values of the other group, after I use the 
function "glm" to abtain the  Fisher's discriminant function for this group.
I repeat the same for all the groups.

Some times ago i try to make the same query but without results.

Best wishes
Leonardo
