CLOUDDATA Generates clouds of points for testing algorithms [p,mu,C] = clouddata(mu,sigma,Q) mu: Matrix (RxNc) with the clouds centers by columns sigma: Defines the covariance matrix of each cloud. Can be either: 'full': Uses random full covariances scalar number: Uses spherical covs sigma*I vector (1xNc): Uses spherical covs of different widths, sigma(k)*I n-array (R,R,Nc): Assigns a specified cov. matrix to each cloud Q: Number of points in each cloud (optional. default=100). Can be either: a scalar: with the number of points for all clouds a vector: (1xNc) with the number of points of each cloud DESCRIPTION Generates a data set composed of multivariate gaussian distributed clouds of data allowing for specification of spherical or ellipsoidal covariances
