\name{f_md} \alias{f_md} \title{Integrated Density on a Hyperplane} \description{ Finds the integrated density of the best hyperplanes orthogonal to a given projection vector (assumes the data have zero mean vector). Used as projection index for projection pursuit to find minimum density hyperplanes. } \usage{ f_md(v, X, P) } \arguments{ \item{v}{a numeric vector of length ncol(X)} \item{X}{a numeric matrix (num_data x num_dimensions) to be projected on v} \item{P}{a list of parameters including (at least) $h (positive numeric bandwidth value), $alpha (positive numeric constraint width), $C (positive numeric affecting the slope of the penalty)} } \value{ the value of the integrated density of the best hyperplane orthogonal to v } \keyword{internal}
