% PLOTCOV2 - Plots a covariance ellipse with major and minor axes
%            for a bivariate Gaussian distribution.
%
% Usage:
%   h = plotcov2(mu, Sigma[, OPTIONS]);
% 
% Inputs:
%   mu    - a 2 x 1 vector giving the mean of the distribution.
%   Sigma - a 2 x 2 symmetric positive semi-definite matrix giving
%           the covariance of the distribution (or the zero matrix).
%
% Options:
%   'conf'    - a scalar between 0 and 1 giving the confidence
%               interval (i.e., the fraction of probability mass to
%               be enclosed by the ellipse); default is 0.9.
%   'num-pts' - the number of points to be used to plot the
%               ellipse; default is 100.
%
% This function also accepts options for PLOT.
%
% Outputs:
%   h     - a vector of figure handles to the ellipse boundary and
%           its major and minor axes
%

% CONF2MAHAL - Translates a confidence interval to a Mahalanobis
%              distance.  Consider a multivariate Gaussian
%              distribution of the form
%
%   p(x) = 1/sqrt((2 * pi)^d * det(C)) * exp((-1/2) * MD(x, m, inv(C)))
%
%              where MD(x, m, P) is the Mahalanobis distance from x
%              to m under P:
%
%                 MD(x, m, P) = (x - m) * P * (x - m)'
%
%              A particular Mahalanobis distance k identifies an
%              ellipsoid centered at the mean of the distribution.
%              The confidence interval associated with this ellipsoid
%              is the probability mass enclosed by it.  Similarly,
%              a particular confidence interval uniquely determines
%              an ellipsoid with a fixed Mahalanobis distance.
%
%              If X is an d dimensional Gaussian-distributed vector,
%              then the Mahalanobis distance of X is distributed
%              according to the Chi-squared distribution with d
%              degrees of freedom.  Thus, the Mahalanobis distance is
%              determined by evaluating the inverse cumulative
%              distribution function of the chi squared distribution
%              up to the confidence value.
%
% Usage:
% 
%   m = conf2mahal(c, d);
%
% Inputs:
%
%   c    - the confidence interval
%   d    - the number of dimensions of the Gaussian distribution
%
% Outputs:
%
%   m    - the Mahalanobis radius of the ellipsoid enclosing the
%          fraction c of the distribution's probability mass
