Description

Robust PCA 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 or Stahel-Donoho estimator.

Objects from the Class

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

Slots

quan:

Object of class "numeric" The quantile h used throughout the algorithm

call, center, loadings, eigenvalues, scores, k, sd, od, cutoff.sd, cutoff.od, flag, n.obs:

from the "Pca" class.

Extends

Class "PcaRobust", directly. Class "Pca", by class "PcaRobust", distance 2.
