CovarianceUtilities.CalculateMahalanobisDistance(Array, Matrix, Array) Method

Top

Description

Calculates the Mahalanobis distance of the state relative to the mean state given the specified covariance.

Timing Precision Mode

This page describes functionality in millisecond timing precision mode. Millisecond timing precision mode is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. We recommend that you migrate your Mission Plans to nanosecond timing precision mode.

state
Description:	The state for which the Mahalanobis distance is computed.

Return Value

Type:

number

Returns the Mahalanobis distance.
