Detailed Description

template<typename TVector>
class itk::Statistics::MahalanobisDistanceMembershipFunction< TVector >

MahalanobisDistanceMembershipFunction models class membership using Mahalanobis distance.

MahalanobisDistanceMembershipFunction is a subclass of MembershipFunctionBase that models class membership (or likelihood) using the Mahalanobis distance. The mean and covariance structure of the Mahalanobis distance are established using the methods SetMean() and SetCovariance(). The mean is a vector-type that is the same vector-type as the measurement vector but guaranteed to have a real element type. For instance, if the measurement type is an Vector<int,3>, then the mean is Vector<double,3>. If the measurement type is a VariableLengthVector<float>, then the mean is VariableLengthVector<double>. In contrast to this behavior, the covariance is always a VariableSizeMatrix<double>.

Note that this membership function does not return a probability density function in contrast to the GaussianMembershipFunction.

Note, as is the case in other packages (MATLAB, R), the value returned by this membership function is the squared distance.

If the covariance is singular or nearly singular, the membership function behaves somewhat like (the opposite of) an impulse located at the mean. In this case, we specify the covariance to be a diagonal matrix with large values along the diagonal. This membership function, therefore, will return large but differentiable values everywhere and decay to zero sharply near the mean.
