[R] Scaling Matrix in qda() function in MASS package

Hello,
           I am Souradeep Chattopadhyay and I am a graduate student at Iowa
State University Department of Statistics.

Can anyone please explain the mathematical formulation behind the scaling
matrix returned by the qda function in MASS package. I want to understand
how this scaling matrix is derived from the inputs given to the qda
function.

Example Code

The following example is using the banknote data in the MCLUST package.

*Code*

require(MASS)
require(mclust)
data(banknote)
quad<-qda(banknote[,-1], grouping=banknote$Status, method="mle")
quad$scaling


Scaling matrix returned by qda for this data is

[R] Scaling Matrix in qda() function in MASS package

You need to learn how to access code for nonexported methods.  See ?
"::"
> methods(qda)[1] qda.data.frame* qda.default*    qda.formula*    qda.matrix*
see '?methods' for accessing help and source code

Shows you that the methods are not exported from the namespace. Hence
you need to use the triple colon operator to see their code:
> MASS:::qda
Once you have the code, I presume this will answer your question.

Cheers,
Bert

[R] Scaling Matrix in qda() function in MASS package

I guess the question that is being asked here is what is the scaling matrix that
is being returned in the qda object. The help file on qda() says:
...
scaling: for each group ?i?, ?scaling[,,i]? is an array which transforms
observations so that within-groups covariance matrix is spherical.
...

This is a bit ambiguous. I tried a few cases (spectral, QR decomposition,
especially given that it is an upper triangular matrix) but was unable to match
the result.

Unless someone knows, there is no recourse but to muck through source code.

Btw, I think the following will give the necessary source code:

MASS:::qda.default


Hope this helps!

Best wishes,
Ranjan
