Hello Again,
I hope people don't mind me asking so many questions, but as I am analysing my data and reading through my SPSS book I keep finding questions that interest me. I am most certainly learning a great deal from everyone; thank you so much.
I was wondering what your thoughts are on Discriminate Analysis v's Multinomial Regression Analysis? I am examining whether my DV (anxiety level - 3 categories) can be predicted by my IVs (subscales on a questionnaire measuring benchmarks used when assessing health status). I felt that a Discriminate Analysis would be the the best method, but on proceeding with this I have been reading that there is some competition between this method and the regression analysis. Is one seen as more valid in the world of psychology statistics? Will doing a Discriminate Analysis end up getting me bombarded with criticism during my viva?
Best Wishes,
Nicola
