Classification functions in linear discriminant analysis in R

Question

After completing a linear discriminant analysis in R using lda(), is there a convenient way to extract the classification functions for each group?

Answer 1

Suppose x is your LDA object:

x$terms

You can have a peak at the object by looking at it's structure:

str(x)

Update:

Iris <- data.frame(rbind(iris3[,,1], iris3[,,2], iris3[,,3]),Sp = rep(c("s","c","v"), rep(50,3)))
train <- sample(1:150, 75)
table(Iris$Sp[train])
z <- lda(Sp ~ ., Iris, prior = c(1,1,1)/3, subset = train)
predict(z, Iris[-train, ])$class
str(z)
