Mahalanobis distance in JMP differs from other methods

Jan 26, 2018 05:19 PM (7772 views)

Hi,

I am comparing Mahalanobis distance calculated by JMP vs. one reported in other tables using their software. The JMP reports for MD 2.35 +/- .54 vs. 1.23 +/- 0.68 . I was wondering if there is anything special about JMP. I have 30 data points with 6 variables.

 

I appreciate any comments. Thanks

Here is the calculation used in JMP for Mahalanobis, taken from

Is it different from your undefined product?

Thanks Jim for the reply and definition of MD in JMP. The one I like to use is Mahalanobis distance defined in Mahalanobis Taguchi System (MTS). I have attached the definition in the attached file. It looks like there are differences. 

 

Anyone has used MTS method in JMP? ThanksMD in MTS.pngMD in MTS.png

More dodgy maths from Genichi Taguchi?
