  "term": "Forward stepwise linear discriminant analysis",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A statistical method for classifying observations into predefined groups by iteratively adding variables to a linear discriminant model. It begins with no variables and at each step, adds the variable that best improves the model's discriminatory power. The process stops when no remaining variable meets the criterion for inclusion.",
