“…The method uses a different approach from the multinomial logistic regression model ( Hair et al, 2010 , Press and Wilson, 1978 ). It has been used in various analyses ( Joewono et al, 2019 , Joewono et al, 2020 ; Lane, 2008; Peter and Anandkumar, 2016 , Shi et al, 2018 ) and is very suitable where the samples are divided into groups of nonmetric dependent variables due to its ability to help understand the differences between groups ( Hair et al, 2010 ). In discriminant analysis, the concept of variate is important.…”
