Method WH.var.covar

Description

Compute the variance-covariance matrix of a MatH object, i.e. a matrix of values consistent with a set of distributions equipped with a L2 wasserstein metric.

Usage

WH.var.covar(object, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'MatH'
WH.var.covar(object, w = numeric(0))

Arguments

object

a MatH object

...

some optional parameters

w

it is possible to add a vector of weights (positive numbers) having the same size of the rows of the MatH object, default = equal weight for each row

Value

a squared matrix with the (weighted) variance-covariance values
