[R] Linear discriminant analysis

[Ben Bolker]

   It's possible that neither of these will help, but

(1) you can look at the source code of the predict method 
(MASS:::predict.lda)

(2) you can look at the source reference ("Modern Applied Statistics in 
S", Venables and Ripley) to see if it gives more information (although 
it might not); there's a chance that you can get the information you 
need via a google books search
