Field Value
Indicates the type of prior probabilities to be calculated.Default: PriorType = PriorProbabilities.Equal.
Remarks
Use PriorProbabilities.Equal to
set equal prior probabilities, calculated as
1.0/nGroups. Or, use
PriorProbabilities.Proportional to calculate the priors to
be proportional to the sample size in each group. The sum
of all prior probabilities is equal to 1.0. If the values
calculated for the priors are less than 1.0e-20, they will
be converted to the Math.Log(1.0e-20). Prior
probabilities are used in calculating statistics,
coefficients, Mahalanobis, and classification probabilities.
