Show slide Opening Slide	Welcome to this spoken tutorial on Linear Discriminant Analysis in R.
Show slide Learning Objectives	In this tutorial, we will learn about: Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and its implementation. Assumptions of LDA Limitations of LDA LDA on a subset of Raisin dataset Visualization of the LDA separator and its corresponding confusion matrix.
Show slide System Specifications	This tutorial is recorded using, Windows 11 R version 4.3.0 RStudio version 2023.06.1 It is recommended to install R version 4.2.0 or higher.
Show slide. Prerequisites https://spoken-tutorial.org	To follow this tutorial, the learner should know: Basics of R programming. Basics of Machine Learning using R. If not, please access the relevant tutorials on R on this website.
Show slide. Linear Discriminant Analysis	Linear Discriminant Analysis is a statistical method. It is used for classification. It constructs a data driven line that best separates different classes. It is based on maximization of likelihood function to classify two or more classes.
Show slide. Applications of LDA	LDA technique is used in several applications like Fraud Detection Bio-Imaging classification Classify patient disease state
Only Narration	Let us now understand the assumptions of LDA.
Show Slide Assumptions for LDA	Multivariate Normality: All data entries are continuous, Gaussian, with equal covariance matrix for all the classes. Mean vectors for each class are different. Data records are independent and identically distributed among each class.
Show Slide Limitations of LDA	Now we will see the limitations of LDA. Departure from Gaussianity can increase misclassification probability in LDA. LDA may perform poorly if data has unequal class covariance matrix.
Show Slide Implementation Of LDA	Now let us implement LDA on the raisin dataset with two chosen variables. More information on raisin data is available in the Additional Reading material on this tutorial page.

Highlight the command confusion <- table(test_data$class, predicted_values$class) Highlight the command fourfoldplot(confusion, color = c("red", green"), conf.level = 0, margin=1)	This table creates a confusion matrix. The fourfoldplot() function generates a visual plot of the confusion matrix, The output is seen in the plot window.
Highlight the plot in plot window	Drag boundary to see the plot window clearly. Given the specific seed (set.seed=1), LDA has misclassified 33 out of 270 observations. This number may change for different sets of training data.
Only Narration.	Let us visualize how well our model separates different classes.
[RStudio] [RStudio] X <- seq(min(train_data$minorAL), max(train_data$minorAL), length.out = 100) Y <- seq(min(train_data$ecc), max(train_data$ecc), length.out = 100) min_max <- expand.grid(minorAL = X, ecc = Y) min_max$predicted_class <- predict(LDA_model, newdata = min_max)$class grid <- expand.grid(minorAL = X, ecc = Y) grid$class <- predict(LDA_model, newdata = grid)$class grid$classnum <- as.numeric(grid$class) Click on Save and Run buttons.	In the Source window, type these commands. This block of code operates as a setup for visual plotting. It consists of square grid coordinates in the range of training data and their predicted linear discriminants. The seq function generates a sequence of evenly spaced values within a range of smallest and largest values of 'minorAL' and 'ecc' variables from the training data. The 'grid' variable contains the generated data including the prediction of the LDA_model on it. The as.numeric function encodes the predicted classes labels into numeric values. Select the commands and run them.
Point to the Environment tab.	Drag boundary to see the details in the Environment tab. These variables contain the data for the visualization of the linear discriminants. Click the grid data in the Environment tab. The grid data table is loaded in the Source window.
[RStudio] ggplot() + geom_point(data = train_data, aes(x = minorAL, y = ecc, color = class), size = 3) + geom_point(data = min_max, aes(x = minorAL, y = ecc, color = predicted_class), size = 1, alpha = 0.3) + theme_minimal() ggplot() + geom_raster(data=grid, aes(x=minorAL, y=ecc, fill = class),alpha=0.3) + geom_point(data = train_data, aes(x = minorAL, y = ecc, color = class), size = 2) + geom_contour(data= grid, aes(x=minorAL, y=ecc, z = classnum), colour="black", linewidth = 1.2) + scale_fill_manual(values = c("#ffff46", "#FF46e9")) + scale_color_manual(values = c("red", "blue")) + labs(title = "LDA Decision Boundary") + theme_minimal()	In the Source window, type these commands.
Highlight the command ggplot() + geom_point(data = train_data, aes(x = minorAL, y = ecc, color = class), size = 3) + geom_point(data = min_max, aes(x = minorAL, y = ecc, color = predicted_class), size = 1, alpha = 0.3) +theme_minimal() ggplot() + geom_raster(data=grid, aes(x=minorAL, y=ecc, fill = class),alpha=0.3) + geom_point(data = train_data, aes(x = minorAL, y = ecc, color = class), size = 2) + geom_contour(data= grid, aes(x=minorAL, y=ecc, z = classnum), colour="black", linewidth = 1.2) + scale_fill_manual(values = c("#ffff46", "#FF46e9")) + scale_color_manual(values = c("red", "blue")) + labs(title = "LDA Decision Boundary") + theme_minimal() Select the commands and run them.	This command creates the decision boundary plot It plots the grid points with colors indicating the predicted classes. geom_raster creates a colour map indicating the predicted classes of the grid points geom_contour creates the decision boundary of the LDA. The scale_color_manual function assigns specific colors to the classes and so does scale_fill_manual function. The overall plot provides a visual representation of the decision boundary and the distribution of training data points of the model. Select and run these commands. Drag boundaries to see the plot window clearly.
Point the output in the Plots window	We can see that our model has separated most of the data points clearly.
