Description of components

Quantity	Description
.#!value	the Mahalanobis distances between the input vectors

Compulsory keywords

ARG1	The point that we are calculating the distance from
ARG2	The point that we are calculating the distance to
METRIC	The inverse covariance matrix that should be used when calculating the distance

Options

SQUARED	( default=off ) The squared distance should be calculated
VON_MISSES	( default=off ) Compute the mahalanobis distance in a way that is more sympathetic to the periodic boundary conditions
