Use of Discriminant function method for forecasting students result

Abstract

It is known that the method of discriminant analysis is one of the variable data's for both classification stage and discriminant.The main goal of discriminant analysis is to build as bas derived from qualifications drawn based on classification observation on two groups or more for a certain sample so that it would be possible to take a decision based on single reference. The study concluded that independent variables have significant effect and the correct classification efficiency for failed students was 81% and for the successful was 82% the figures prove that the method discriminant function is suitable for forecasting.
