pairwise_dist.robustmahadist: Compute Pairwise Robust Mahalanobis Distances

In bbuchsbaum/rMVPA: Multivoxel Pattern Analysis in R

Compute Pairwise Robust Mahalanobis Distances

Description

Computes the pairwise Mahalanobis distances using a robustly estimated covariance matrix, which can be more resistant to outliers.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'robustmahadist'
pairwise_dist(obj, X)

Arguments

X	Numeric matrix where rows represent observations and columns represent variables.
dist_obj	A list that might include additional parameters for distance computation, currently unused.

Value

An object of class 'dist' containing the computed robust Mahalanobis distances.

Examples

X <- matrix(rnorm(100), 10, 10)
dist_matrix <- pairwise_dist.robustmahadist(list(), X)
