Mahalanobis for AWC

Description

Vector of Mahalanobis distances or their root. For use in awcoord only.

Usage

mahalanodisc(x2, mg, covg, modus="square") 

Arguments

x2	numerical data matrix.
mg	mean vector.
covg	covariance matrix.
modus	"md" (roots of Mahalanobis distances) or "square" (original squared form of Mahalanobis distances).

Details

The covariance matrix is inverted by use of solvecov, which can be expected to give reasonable results for singular within-class covariance matrices.

Value

vector of (rooted) Mahalanobis distances.
