Table 1 Prediction accuracy results for classifying soil types using Fisher’s Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) for (a) Winter (dieback, healthy) and (b) Spring (dieback, dredge, healthy) soil surveys. The first three principal components (PC) scores derived from the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) were used as the explanatory variables.
