dispersionIndicators - Indicators for the Analysis of Dispersion of Datasets with
Batched and Ordered Samples
Provides methods for analyzing the dispersion of tabular
datasets with batched and ordered samples. Based on convex hull
or integrated covariance Mahalanobis, several indicators are
implemented for inter and intra batch dispersion analysis. It
is designed to facilitate robust statistical assessment of data
variability, supporting applications in exploratory data
analysis and quality control, for such datasets as the one
found in metabololomics studies. For more details see Salanon
