Provides methods for analyzing the dispersion of tabular datasets with batched and ordered samples. Based on convex hull or integrated covariance Mahalanobis, several indicators are implemented for inter and intra batch dispersion analysis. It is designed to facilitate robust statistical assessment of data variability, supporting applications in exploratory data analysis and quality control, for such datasets as the one found in metabololomics studies.
