covOrigin {ICS}

Covariance Matrix with Respect to the Origin

Description

Estimates the covariance matrix with respect to the origin.

Usage

covOrigin(X, location = NULL, na.action = na.fail)

Arguments

X

a numeric data matrix or dataframe.

location

optional location value which serves as the center instead of the origin.

na.action

a function which indicates what should happen when the data contain 'NA's. Default is to fail.

Details

The covariance matrix S_{0} with respect to origin is given for a matrix X with n observations by

S_{0}= \frac{1}{n}X'X.

Value

A matrix containing the estimated covariance matrix with respect to the origin.
