predict.ellipsoid: Predict Method for Ellipsoid Objects
Description
Compute points on the ellipsoid boundary, mostly for drawing.Usage
predict.ellipsoid(object, n.out=201, ...)
ellipsoidPoints(A, d2, loc, n=201)
Arguments
n.out,n
the number of points to create.
A, d2, loc
arguments of the auxilary ellipsoidPoints, see below.
...
passed to and from methods.
Value
- a numeric matrix of dimension
n.out times $p$.
Details
Note ellipsoidPoints is the workhorse function of the
predict.ellipsoid method; the class of object is not
checked; it must solely have valid components loc (length $p$),
the $p \times p$ matrix cov (corresponding to
A) and d2 for the center, the shape (``covariance'')
matrix and the squared average radius or distance.
