Covariance is of universal prevalence across various disciplines within statistics. This package aims at providing a rich collection of geometric and statistical tools for a variety of inferences on covariance structures as well as its inverse called precision matrix. See the package help file by help("package-CovTools")
in R console for the list of available functions.
You can install the released version of CovTools from CRAN with:
install.packages("CovTools")
or the development version from github:
## install.packages("devtools")
## library(devtools)
devtools::install_github("kisungyou/CovTools")
