Dear All,
The Minimum Volume Ellipsoid estimator ("cov.mve") was part of S+ but I
cannot find it in R. Where can I find it?
help.search("cov.mve") gives
cov.rob(MASS) Resistant Estimation of Multivariate Location
and Scatter
so you see not to know how to search.
Why was it excluded?
R is not a clone of S-PLUS (sic), but a different system based on the S
language. Often there is better functionality in R (and indeed in this
case there is later enhanced functionality in S-PLUS too).
