Figure 24. 1-dimensional sliced inverse regression plot showing classification of dogs
into groups based on lipoprotein profile analysis (Group 1 vs Group 2). The vertical line
represents the line that separates the two groups based on 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 healthy (Group 2). The majority of dogs (except
for 2 dogs) have a lipoprotein profile that plots to the right of the vertical line. The dogs
represented by the dots at the top of the graph are dogs with pancreatitis (Group 1). The
majority of these dogs (with the exception of 3) have a lipoprotein profile that is
different from that of the healthy dogs. Sliced inverse regression analysis correctly
classified approximately 90% of the dogs based on their lipoprotein profiles.
