jamovi

Hei,

one can use the Mahalanobis-distance in order to check for multivariate outliers. The data set I am using is Album Sales.sav from Field (2018). http://study.sagepub.com/sites/default/ ... _files.zip
When calculating it using SPSS: Analyze → Regression (DV: Sales; IV: Adverts, Airplay, Image) → Save → Mahalanobis I get Mahalanobis distances that are different but still relatively highly correlated (0.873) to those I get from R using mahalanobis(data[, 2:4], colMeans(data[, 2:4]), cov(data[, 2:4]))

I wanted to add that I get the identical results from mahalanobis in vanilla R and the one implemented in the psych-package.

Any thoughts?

Thanks a lot,

Sebastian

hey wait ... this is about spss and R ... is there anything jamovi related here? do you need to be posting in the off-topic forum

I intend to get Mahalanobis into jamovi. Is this sufficient?

S

oh yup

Hi there,

Did you make any progress on this feature? I have a student asking about it.

Best
