Is there a way to make predict.discrim() predict groups when there is a missing categorical variable in the test dataset? (note: the only missing values are the dependant categorical variables, the independent continous variables are there and I want to predict group membership based on those values).


Thank you for any help, I can only get predicted values for datapoints that have both dependent and independent variable present.


Sincerely;
