Answer to Question 1

A discriminant function is a linear combination of the independent variables that maximally discriminates among categories of the dependent variable. Discriminant functions can be used to separate segments, often following a cluster analysis. On a graph of two dimensions of a clustering solution, a discriminant function can be drawn as a line dividing segments.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
