Statistics Toolbox includes some nice examples of linear discriminant analysis: http://www.mathworks.co.uk/help/toolbox/stats/bq_u8tb.html http://www.mathworks.co.uk/products/statistics/demos.html?file=/products/demos/shipping/stats/classdemo.html

To find out more about the method and algorithms, I'd recommend:
