covOrigin: Covariance Matrix with Respect to the Origin

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

Description

Estimates the covariance matrix with respect to the origin.

Usage

covOrigin(X, location = NULL, na.action = na.fail)

Arguments

X	a numeric data matrix or dataframe.
location	optional location value which serves then as the center instead of the origin.
na.action	a function which indicates what should happen when the data contain 'NA's. Default is to fail.

Details

The covariance matrix S_0 with respect to origin is given for a matrix X with n observations by

S_0=X'X/n.

Value

A matrix.
