[R] a question on lda{MASS}

hi,

maybe I should re-phrase my question a bit:

is there a way to get explicit formulae like Y ~ sum of CiXi from the
model build by lda{MASS} to calculate $x (value) ?

I assume scaling is the coeff and Xi is from test data and Y is $x
called LD1. But I want to confirm this.

Thanks.
