test.l.max: Find maximum possible wight transformation value.

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) References See Also Examples

This function approximates the highest possible value for l in a nested loop. It uses test.l and does not need any further parameters. It starts with l between zero and 0.5 and iteratively approximates the last possible vlaues for which the weight-transformed matrix of the input data still allows eigenspace extraction.

1	test.l.max(X, n = 10, ...)

`X`	`Numeric` matrix, input data set with m samples (rows) and n variables (columns).
`n`	`Numeric` scalar, number of loop runs and values per loop.
`...`	Further arguments passed to the function.

Numeric scalar, maximal possible l value.
