.MaxSkewBiv: MaxSkewBiv: skewness-based projection pursuit for bivariate data

Description

Finds Orthogonal Data Projections with Maximal Skewness for Bivariate Random Vectors

Usage

.MaxSkewBiv(x, y)

Arguments

x
it is a numerical variable
y
it is a numerical variable

Value

.projectionBIV
Vector of projected data when the original data are bivariate. The user can obtain it by writing ".projectionBIV", and he can obtain a scatterplot of the projection by writing plot(.projectionBIV).
