Spatial sign covariance matrix

Description

Spatial sign covariance matrix.

Usage

sscov(x, me = NULL, tol = 1e-09)

Arguments

x

A matrix with continuous data.

me

If you have already computed the spatial median plug it in here.

tol

A tolerance level to terminate the process of finding the spatial median. This is set to 1e-09 by default.

Details

The spatial median is at first computed (if not supplied) and then the covariance matrix.

Value

The spatial sign covariance matrix.
