Hi all, If I run LDA on the same data (2-class classification) with default(no priors specified in the lda function) vs. "prior=c(0.5, 0.5)", the results are different.
The (0.5, 0.5) priors give better 1-classify-to-1 rate, and the proportional priors(default, no priors specified in the lda function) give better 0-classify-to-0 rate, for both training and testing data sets. However, if I run QDA on the same data (2-class classification) with default(no priors specified in the lda function) vs. "prior=c(0.5, 0.5)", the results are the same, i.e. the confusion tables are completely the same for two types of priors, I even tried "qda" function with "prior=c(0.3, 0.7)" and other values, the confusion tables are still the same... What might be the problem? Thanks a lot!
