Cov-class: Class "Cov" - a base class for estimates of multivariate location and scatter

Description

The class Cov represents an estimate of the multivariate location and scatter of a data set. The objects of class Cov contain the classical estimates and serve as base for deriving other estimates, i.e. different types of robust estimates.

Objects from the Class

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

Examples

data(hbk)
hbk.x <- data.matrix(hbk[, 1:3])
cv <- Cov(hbk.x)
cv
summary(cv)
plot(cv)
