[R] Plots from lda and predict.lda

[Mat Vanderklift]

Dear all

When plotting the results of lda and predict.lda, I expect the axis
dimensions to remain essentially the same - predict.lda projects new
observations onto linear discriminants. However, I am getting different
ranges of values along the x-axis when producing plots following each:
plot(lda) yields values in the range approximately -3 to +4, while
plot(predict.lda) yields values for the first linear discriminant in the
range approximately +4 to +10 (the commands follow). Could anybody suggest
what is happening here? (I can attach files with plots separately if
requested).

Regards
Mat Vanderklift
