Asymmetric neighborhood based discriminant coordinates
Asymmetric neighborhood based discriminant coordinates as defined in Hennig (2003). Asymmetric discriminant projection means that there are two classes, one of which is treated as the homogeneous class (i.e., it should appear homogeneous and separated in the resulting projection) while the other may be heterogeneous. The principle is to maximize the ratio between the projection of a between classes covariance matrix, which is defined by averaging the between classes covariance matrices in the neighborhoods of the points of the homogeneous class and the projection of the covariance matrix within the homogeneous class.
ancoord(xd, clvecd, clnum=1, nn=50, method="mcd", countmode=1000, ...)
xd |
the data matrix; a numerical object which can be coerced to a matrix. |
clvecd |
integer vector of class numbers; length must equal
|
clnum |
integer. Number of the homogeneous class. |
nn |
integer. Number of points which belong to the neighborhood of each point (including the point itself). |
method |
one of
"mve", "mcd" or "classical". Covariance matrix used within the
homogeneous class.
"mcd" and "mve" are robust covariance matrices as implemented

countmode |
optional positive integer. Every |

The square root of the homogeneous classes covariance matrix
is inverted by use of
tdecomp, which can be expected to give
reasonable results for singular within-class covariance matrices.
