A short overview is presented of a number of different discriminant analysis methods. An ‘uncertainty principle’ is presented in regard to the issue of user choice of appropriate method. The discriminant analysis methods described are then used in the important problem of feature selection. A hand-classified set of HST Guide Star plate data is used, with star/galaxy/fault classes.
