Description: An introduction to selection.exe
Time: June, 2005
Some features:
1. Judge if an input matrix is covariance matrix or not
2. Any combination of the selection variables
--How to use--
Selection.exe is a program to calculate the correlation matrix and mean vector after selection
using the Lawley (1943) formula.
There are two ways to run the program. One way is simply to double click the file selection.exe and
following the instruction on the screen.
Another way to run dos command window. Go to "start" - "run" and input cmd in the popout window.
then go to the folder where you save the selection.exe file. This way is recommended for debuging.
Here is an example to run the program using the second way.
First, go to the file folder and type in "selection" and press down "return":
C:\zzy\cpluslib\file\test\Release>selection
