covAxis: One step Tyler Shape Matrix

In ICS: Tools for Exploring Multivariate Data via ICS/ICA

One step Tyler Shape Matrix

Description

This matrix can be used to get the principal axes from ics, which is then known as principal axis analysis.

Usage

covAxis(X, na.action = na.fail)

Arguments

X	numeric data matrix or dataframe.
na.action	a function which indicates what should happen when the data contain 'NA's. Default is to fail.

Details

The covAxis matrix V is a given for a n \times p data matrix X as

p \ ave_{i}\{[(x_{i}-\bar{x})S^{-1}(x_{i}-\bar{x})']^{-1}(x_{i}-\bar{x})'(x_{i}-\bar{x})\},

where \bar{x} is the mean vector and S the regular covariance matrix.

covAxis can be used to perform a Prinzipal Axis Analysis (Critchley et al. 2006) using the function ics. In that case, for a centered data matrix X, covAxis can be used as S2 in ics, where S1 should be in that case the regular covariance matrix.

Value

A matrix containing the estimated one step Tyler shape matrix.
