[R] Mahalanobis distance and probability of group membership using Hotelling's T2 distribution

2007-02-20 Thread Mike White
I want to calculate the probability that a group will include a particular point using the squared Mahalanobis distance to the centroid. I understand that the squared Mahalanobis distance is distributed as chi-squared but that for a small number of random samples from a multivariate normal

[R] mahalanobis distance

2004-09-12 Thread Murli Nair
Is there a function that calculate the mahalanobis distance in R . The dist function calculates euclidean', 'maximum', 'manhattan', 'canberra', 'binary' or 'minkowski'. Thanks ../Murli __ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
