robustfa (version 1.0-4)

FaCov-class: Class "FaCov"

Description

Robust FA based on a robust covariance matrix. Robust FA are obtained by replacing the classical covariance matrix by a robust covariance estimator. This can be one of the available in rrcov estimators, i.e., MCD, OGK, M, S, SDE, or MVE estimator.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("FaCov", ...). But the usual way of creating FaCov objects is a call to the function FaCov which serves as a constructor.

Extends

Class "FaRobust", directly. Class "Fa", by class "FaRobust", distance 2.

Methods

No methods defined with class "FaCov" in the signature.
