MD
(preprocessors=())[source]¶ Implementation of the Mahalanobis Distance (MD) data descriptor [Rddee2b422011-1]. Mahalanobis distance is the multivariate generalisation of distance to the mean in terms of σ, in a Gaussian distribution. This data descriptor simply assumes that the target class is normally distributed, and uses the pseudo-inverse of its covariance matrix to transform a vector with deviations from the mean in each dimension into a single distance value. Squared Mahalanobis distance is χ²-distributed, the corresponding p-value is the confidence score.
