Maps Selection

After selecting the t_Map panel, the user can select between the clustered t-values (t_MAP [CLUSTERS]) which is the default, and the raw t-values (t_MAP [VALUES]) as illustrated below. The selected data set can be exported for external processing or visualization using the Save t Map button.

Numeric Results Comparison

The result of the discrimination analysis is text information, which can be saved using the Results button. This  file can either be opened in a general editor (eg. Wordpad, Excel), or using the picture_5425 selection in the lateral taskbar of PALZ.

The PALZ result viewer has two windows, into which PALZ results can be loaded and compared side by side as illustrated below.
