Linear discriminant analysis of all queen mandibular gland pheromone components.

Abstract

<p>The relative proportions of the individual compounds found in the mandibular glands of the queens in experiments 1 and 2 were arcsine square root transformed and subjected to linear discriminant analysis. <b>A</b>) Discriminant plot with classification of Virg, CO<sub>2</sub> and CPM queen groups based on 27 compounds and the table of actual (rows) by predicted (columns) numbers of queens in different groups. Symbols represent individual queens; ellipse represents the 95% confidence region containing the true mean. <b>B</b>) Discriminant plot with classification of Virg, SA1, SA8, SE1, and SE8 queen groups based on 28 compounds and the table of actual (rows) by predicted (columns) numbers of queens in the different groups. Numbers in parentheses represent the percentage of queens classified correctly.</p
