The raw coefficients of canonical function can be used to compute raw canonical scores for each case in each discriminant model. The eigenvalues for each discriminant function and the cumulative proportion of variance extracted by each discriminant function are also presented above. The standardized coefficients were computed by multiplying raw coefficients by the square root of the pooled within-group co-variances for respective variables.
