In previous papers (Bartlett 1951, Williams 1952a, b, c; 1953, 1955) certain exact tests for discriminant functions have been discussed. These papers have also indicated how the tests may usefully be applied to a wide range of problems: the significance of discriminant function coefficients, the interpretation of interactions in factorial experiments, the concurrence of regression lines with the same independent variables and the proportionality of regression lines with different independent variables, the comparison of sets of ratios, and the testing of arbitrary scores applied to frequency data.
