Abstract
Several data analysis techniques were applied to qualitative attributes in order to visualize their connections and calculate a discriminant function to classify samples into two groups. Recoding numerical values into intervals, exploratory data analysis techniques produce different views of the relationship pattern among variables and discriminant analysis quantify the capability of each variable to differenciate two groups of samples.
