Compute Gower's centered similarity matrix from a distance matrix

Compute Gower's centered similarity matrix $G$, which is the matrix decomposed by the MDMR test statistic.

gower(d.mat)

Arguments

• d.mat: Symmetric distance matrix (or R distance object) computed from the outcome data to be used in MDMR.

Returns

G Gower's centered dissimilarity matrix computed from D.
