CovNAClassic {rrcovNA}

Classical Estimates of Multivariate Location and Scatter for incomplete data (EM Algorithm)

Description

Computes the classical estimates of multivariate location and scatter. Returns an S4 class CovNAClassic with the estimated center, cov, Mahalanobis distances and weights based on these distances.

Usage

    CovNAClassic(x, unbiased=TRUE)
    CovNA(x, unbiased=TRUE)

Arguments

x

a matrix or data frame. As usual, rows are observations and columns are variables.

unbiased

whether to return the unbiased estimate of the covariance matrix. Default is unbiased = TRUE

Value

An object of class "CovNAClassic".
