Figure 13. 1-dimensional sliced inverse regression plot showing classification of dogs
into groups based on lipoprotein profile analysis (Group 1 vs Group 2A). The vertical
line represents the line that separates the 2 groups based on their lipoprotein profile
analysis. The LDA value provides a ranking value for each dog. The dogs represented by
the dots that are at the bottom of the graph are the Miniature Schnauzers of Group 2A.
Their lipoprotein profiles plot them all to the right of the vertical line, with the exception
of 3 dogs (90% of dogs classified correctly). The dogs represented by the dots at the top
of the graph are the dogs of other breeds (Group 1). Twenty-eight of the 35 dogs (80%)
are classified as a separate group to the left of the vertical line. Seven of the 35 dogs are
classified to the right of the vertical line together with the Miniature Schnauzers.
