mahal: Mahalanobis model

Description

Distribution model based on the Mahalanobis distance. The predictions are (1-distance). I.e. the highest possible value is 1, and there will likely be large negative numbers.

Usage

mahal(x, p, ...)

Value

An object of class Mahalanobis (inherits from DistModel-class)

Arguments

x

Raster* object or matrix

p

two column matrix or SpatialPoints* object

...

Additional arguments. Currently not used
