Discriminant analysis

Hi, I'm a newbie in R and don't much aobut all the modules and their capabilities, but I'm interested in solving a problem about a discriminant analysis done with SPSS tool. The thing is that I would like to make a discrimant analysis similar to the one done with SPSS, but I can't find the way to solve it. I've been playing with R and I can handle more or less my data, the point is that I need to know what kind of discriminant analysis should I use to obtain the same results as I obtain with SPSS. Should I use "qda" or "lda"?? If not, what else could I use??
Well, what about asking SPSS what it does, at first? What assumptions have you had re. the covariance matrix? I guess the default will be a linear discriminant analysis, but I do not know SPSS. And *you* should know whether the analysis you did with SPSS made sense or not for your data (hence also which models/methods you applied). Uwe Ligges
Can anybody help me to find out a light in my way? I've been searching all over the web to fetch any help or example but I couldn't get anything. I would apreciate any help greatly. Thanks Carlos Niharra L??pez Software Engineer Madrid (Spain)
