[R] 3D confidence ellipsoid with ellipse projections onto 2D plane

[baptiste auguie]

Hi,

If you read French, you might find the following discussion interesting,

http://www.forum.math.ulg.ac.be/viewthread.html?id=45765

It contains some good suggestions to project an ellipsoid onto a
plane, which as I understand might be related to your question.

HTH,

b.
