Details

This applies the usual summary default function (which calculates summary statistics on a vector of values) to two vectors. The first is to the vector of maximised projection indices; the intention is so one can see what kinds of values the large ones take. The second application is to the pseudo projection indices, those computed on random directions without optimisation. Essentially, real projection indices that are larger than the maximum pseudo indices might be interesting and worth looking at with, e.g. the plot.PP3 function.

Value

Nothing explicit is returned
