Abstract
O'Farrell P. N. and Crouchley R. (1979) The locational pattern of new manufacturing establishments: an application of discriminant analysis, Reg. Studies 13, 39–59. The paper investigates the use of discriminant analysis as an analytical technique for classifying industrial location patterns. A number of statistical problems are explored and solutions proposed. A series of models are calibrated in order to predict the probability that an individual industrial project will select a particular regional, Designated/Non-Designated Area, or town size location. The profiles of projects with high probabilities of locating in certain regions and urban size groups in Ireland are identified.
