Per-cluster Confidence Score: Calculates the Mahalanobis distance from user-defined query clusters to their nearest reference centroid after initial projection into reference PCA space. All query cells in a cluster get the same score. Higher distance indicates less confidence. Due to the instability of estimating covariance with small numbers of cells, we do not assign a score to clusters smaller than u * d, where d is the dimensionality of the embedding and u is specified.
